Top 5 Christmas holiday health hazards
The team at YourGP hope you have a happy and healthy Christmas! To that end, here’s a timely reminder of some potential health hazards to be mindful of during the festive season. And if you need us at all, you can call, email or book online and we’ll be happy to see you at short notice so you can get back to celebrating the season in no time.
Top 5 Christmas holiday health hazards
- Allergies: Cooking for friends and family? Be sure you ask beforehand if anyone has an allergy. This is also an important one to remember if gifting selection boxes to children that may contain nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy and other allergens.
- Food poisoning: Always follow the cooking instructions on your turkey and check before serving that the juices run clear. Store leftovers in the fridge and pay close attention to Use By dates.
- Twists and sprains: Nothing says Christmas quite like a sprinkling of fresh snow. But if you plan to head out for a brisk winter walk after lunch, take extra care on ungritted paths and pavements – the slippery icey surfaces can cause a painful fall.
- Choking: Be sure to keep toys with small loose parts out of reach of babies and young children as they can be a real choking hazard. Be particularly vigilant about button batteries which if swallowed can release highly corrosive acid and cause severe internal bleeding.
- Excessive alcohol: Alcohol consumption lowers inhibitions, making you more likely to take risks. Be sure to pace yourself throughout the day and alternate with plenty of water.
