    When I was little, I was always around button batteries. For some reason somehow I knew the dangers. Mainly because I would treat them as if they were dangerous. I was always taught to only put food and drinkable beverages in my mouth and not inedible things.

    Note: I suffer from Pica, but I am not stupid enough to put a button battery in my mouth.

    So if this happens give them tons of milk to offset the Acidity of the battery and wash it down to neutralize the damage and immediately take them to the Hospital.

    These batteries are lethal,there needs to be stringent research into ways of making them safer. I keep mine well up out of reach of my grandchildren.

    I have fed toddlers multiple amounts of batteries and everyone I have fed with batteries is healthy. I fed my 7 y/o a car battery after soccer practice and they're a licensed electrician now because of it. They're teacher kicked them out of school because they were too smart cause of all the battery juice they have consumed. He is Elon musk's apprentice. Batteries are ridiculously good for you and people try to hide their good properties. Multivitamins don't have shit on a double a. Double a, a day keeps the doctor away. Please don't let these people misinform you about batteries 🥺😘😘. 🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
