Look-Alike Poisons

Poison Look-Alikes show the dangers that exist between the striking similarities in the appearance between many common household poisons and edible products. Poisoning can occur when poisons are mistaken for food. The program includes a display of poisons and foods in which the audience participants can try to guess which the poison is and which is the food. The program is aone-time lesson.
