I looked up Hyland’s Teething Tablets the other day for Miss Lydia. Her gums are beginning to irritate her, much to the dismay of her poor knuckles.
Imagine my surprise to learn one of ol’ Hyland’s active ingredients is belladonna. Belladonna — seriously?!
No wonder kids get that ‘soothing’ effect. They’re too busy watching the pink elephants duke it out with the green-and-blue striped tigers on the ceiling.*
If I’m going to slightly poison anyone to the point of intoxication, I’ll just do it to myself with some Grey Goose, thanks.
