"International and Australian … organisations warn against using the local anaesthetic lidocaine in products for infant teething. "We know there have been a number of presentations to the WCH emergency department linked to the consumption of too much lidocaine from teething gel, however no children in South Australia have had any serious adverse effects.
All too often some parents use drugs on their children for the convenience of being able to shut them up, not because it is what they child needs. Kids don't need any form of painkiller unless a Dr says so, because pain can't kill you, but the medication can.
Children have coped well enough without teething gels .. and did so long before there were any teething gels around.
Badly written article. I read 3/4 then gave up. I still don’t know what the symptoms of Lidcocaine poisoning are.

Tim Fischer says long, popular federal election pre-poll period 'poisoning' democracyFormer deputy prime minister Tim Fischer says the three-week early voting period is bad for democracy, particularly in regional Australia. Okay, but governing a country is a continuous business so shouldn't all the parties have current, updated policies in place as a matter of best practice? If polling booth circumstances were more civil, more people may vote on the day. These days we have protesters etc etc and party slaggers, which are turning booths into potential war zones. Next, we will need to run the gauntlet of eggs and sponge cakes :-( Thanks Tim! Good to know that the Coalition think it is losing big-time in pre-polling! Even with its workers at nursing homes telling old people how to vote.
