Did you know that a popular at-home remedy for migraines can be harmful to your pet?
Keep your at-home migraine gel masks in a safe space away from your furry friend! Recent reports to the Pet Poison Helpline have shown an increase in acrylamide hydrogel ingestion, often found in migraine gel masks available over the counter and via online marketplaces like Amazon.
Ingestion of acrylamide can cause severe symptoms such as gastrointestinal upset, central nervous system stimulation or depression, ataxia (poor muscle control), tremors, seizures and liver injury.
