Here are some guidelines for parents and care givers on how to prevent a pulled elbow: Never pick a child up by pulling on one arm or wrist. Don't swing a toddler around by holding onto his hands or arms. When lifting a child up, grasp them under the arms, never lift them up by pulling or jerking on their arms.

You can stop supporting your baby's head once he gains sufficient neck strength (usually around 3 or 4 months); ask your pediatrician if you're unsure.

Follow these five steps every time.
- Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.

Most notably reported are hand sanitizers that contain methanol — a specific type of alcohol that can have side effects such as nausea, vomiting or headaches. More serious effects include blindness, seizures or damage to the nervous system if enough methanol is taken internally.
