Harmless Everyday Things In Our Homes That Could Actually Kill Us. by Explorers(m): 5:48am On May 21, 2016
Your home is your sanctuary, your place of entertainment, your getaway. It’s a place to unwind and relax after a hard day, a place to store all your important items, a place where you’re joined by friends and family during all those special occasions. It’s your place. But your home is also a place that’s full of deadly dangers. Chances are, you have no idea how truly dangerous your home really is, or how many things in it can seriously harm you.

1. Chilli Pepper.


Chili peppers are known for making things spicier, but the thing that makes them so spicy is a chemical called capsaicin, which can cause death if consumed in excess.

2. Nutmeg.


Large doses of this seemingly innocuous spice can, in fact, kill you. Since nutmeg is actually a hallucinogenic, ingesting too much of it can cause convulsions, seizures, and death.

3. Airfreshners.


Air fresheners are actually just chemical cocktails. They're deadly when consumed, and they're also extremely flammable.

4. Mushrooms.


The mushrooms that are growing in your backyard might not be as safe as you think. Over 100 species of mushrooms can kill humans. Instead of picking them from your property, stick to the grocery store.

5. Salmon.


A great source of protein, salmon is a commonly eaten fish. But some farm-raised salmon contain toxins that are harmful to humans. If you can't bare to part with this healthy staple, try to findfish that were caught in the wild.

Let me add mine.

Electricity: It's an "everyday thing" we use, We can't do without it, But it's so dangerous and deadly; In fact, Electricity is the most dangerous CITY in the world.

Fire: It's a loyal servant (It cooks your food and makes you warm), But it can also be a cruel master (It has the ability to char and scorch you beyond recognition).

6. Nail Polish.


Nail polish is yet another chemical cocktail that's probably sitting in your house right now. Even brands that claim to avoid using chemicals are full of toxins, so please just don't put nail polish anywhere near your mouth.

7. Lipstick.

Certain lipsticks contain lead. Ingestion of lipstick can lead to an array of medical complications, including death. Because of where these are applied, it's probably best to do some research into lead-free options.

8. Toxic chemicals.


You’d be surprised at how easily the stuff under your kitchen cabinet can kill you. Always use chemicals in a well-ventilated room. Inhaling bleach can cause fluid to fill your lungs, which can be fatal. Simple upholstery shampoo may contain a corrosive chemical that can cause respiratory problems when inhaled. Dishwasher detergent is a leading cause of poisonings among small children. That’s really just the beginning.
Oven cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners and even furniture polish are all toxic and dangerous when you swallow them, inhale them or get too much on your skin.

9. Tubs.

People die daily from accidental slip and drowning. Swimming pools, hot tubs and even bathtubs can be dangerous. Water is most dangerous for young children, but even an adult can accidentally drown. Stay safe in and around pools and tubs of water by adding no-slip mats near wet walking and standing areas.The bathtub is more dangerous than people think, and not just because it’s a drowning hazard. Water conducts electricity, and that’s always dangerous. Don’t use any electronics while you’re in the bathroom, and don’t habitually keep anything plugged in near the bathtub.

10. Extension Cords.


You probably use them everywhere. You probably couldn’t do all the daily things you do now without them. But extension cords send about 4,000 people to the emergency room every single year. They’re a dangerous tripping hazard, and that’s just the beginning of the trouble they cause. Extension cords are a big fire hazard that kill about 50 people annually. Over 3,000 house fires are started by extension cords every year. That makes them incredibly dangerous to your home.

11. Air Conditioners.


Sitting in the air conditioning is a great way to beat the summer heat. If your AC springs a leak, the refrigerant used in air conditioning is a type of tasteless, odorless gas that can be fatal if you breathe in enough of it. If you inhale too much refrigerant, also known by the brand name Freon, you can experience dizziness, heart palpitations, organ damage and death.

12. Floor tiles&Stairs.


Even a small fall from a standing position straight on your head, you know, in case you hadn’t time to put your arms out to catch some of the force, is enough to kill you.

The mosquito coil part is spot on. I remember when i used one in my room when i was sleeping only to wake minutes later to feeling like i was being choked. I sharply ran out to receive fresh Air. I never used mosquito coil in my room or near my bed.
