A dangerous mishap was narrowly averted at a kindergarten in central Israel after two toddlers managed to open an old baby formula container and touch the rodent poison that an unlicensed pest controller had left next to puppets in a corner of the yard serving as a theater.
Seeing what they were doing, the kindergarten teacher put a stop to the toddlers’ activities and took them for a medical check. They were unharmed.
