You are more than likely are brushing your teeth with poison everyday. Take a look at your tube of toothpaste. It probably has a warning label to call poison control if it is swallowed. Why would something that you put in your mouth on a daily basis be poisonous? The reason is fluoride.

However, when fluoride is ingested it can cause serious health risks, especially for young children, so make sure to keep kids in a Graco FastAction Fold Click Connect stroller while you are using such products.
