Hatzaolah rushed a young child to the hospital just before Shabbos after the child ingested paraffin, TLS has learned. The child, approximately 5, reportedly took the glass off the Shabbos table or counter and apparently mistook it for water.
Hatzolah was called after the mother noticed that the child was not behaving and responding normally.
The child was transported to the hospital in critical condition, and remains in stable condition this evening. TLS-CCP.

That stuff is deadly get it out of your house they should restrict the perchasing of that stuff like a loaded gun. Just a teaspoon of it can kill a 5 year old in a short time
Harugil B’Nair Havin Lay Bnin Talmidai Chachomim. (Shab. 22b) Dont worry, keep on fulfilling the Mitzvah according to your best intentions.
What is paraffin?
what is paraffin?

thank you!

to all those who are asking what parafin is.. ever heard of http://www.google.com?
It is the clear oil used for lighting candles. Very dangerous.
Are there other options to use that are less dangerous? And if yes, everyone please disregard comment number 3.

olive oil
Do u have a name for tehillim
Olive oil…it works and you can drink till your blue!
we gotta be more carefull
Why would anyone want to use liquid paraffin, when olive oil was the traditional choice since forever?
מה השם שלו?
parifine is clear and nicer looking than olive oil.
Better to use the neironim candles that are made from parafine and only turn to liquid when it gets hot and a fire burns. Kids don’t mistake it for water.
commonly called Kerosene in the us. Prayers for you young lad
the child is still in need of a major refua shleima. the name of the child will not be released. to learn from this story stop using fancy paraffin to make the shabbos table look fancier and keep to the basic old school candles.
I dont understand why store in town like Judaica Plaza and westgate sell this stuff on their shelves, especially in diffrent colors that would attract a curious kid? I read online that half a teaspoon could kill an adult! They should really stop selling this Poison period. All the stores in town should pull St Moritz and Parrafin off their shelves fpr good. How much money do they make off these items that its worth putiing it in the hands uf unsuspecting parents
