• Vomit
• Allergic Reactions
• Infection
• Small pieces of foods such as grapes, sausages, and gum
• Dentures (for older adults)

How do you prevent choking on foreign objects such as food?

• Take your time eating
• Sit while you eat
• Enjoy your food

How do you preventing children from choking?

• Supervise them as they eat, especially toddlers and pre-school children
• Inspect toys for small removable parts and only allow toys that are appropriate for their age group
