perfect for the preakness tomorrow. 76, some showers maybe late, especially east of 95. better chance of showers monday, even a better chance of showers and storms tuesday and wednesday. pretty warm. about 80. maybe a left over shower on thursday and next friday, don't look now, we may be more like june with temperatures in the upper 80s. the weekend is going to be about an 80/20 weekend. 80 being good, 20 not so good. >> we can work with that. >> good odds. this week's high school profile takes a welcome at a very serious subject. >> talking about collision sports and the health risks of those that play them. >> dave owens is here with the report on how it impacts us in our area. dave. >> yeah guys, in particular, football. imagine you're a parent or coach or player. do all of these stories about concussions give you pause about participating in a game you love and what are those medical myths and realities of head trauma? we went searching for the

answers. >> very scary. >> rick recollects about 2010 when his son sustained a concussion. >> he was having problems with vision. a lot of dizziness. >> you are used to being yourself, then something like that hits you and changes you completely. >> changes you completely, something profootball players like art monk imply in a recent lawsuit against the nfl. alleging the league failed to protect players against long- term brain injury risks associated with football related concussions. >> played seven seasons in the nfl. recently asked him about his short-term memory. >> are you asking me or asking my wife? i can't remember anything. >> short-term memory thing is real. >> he is also a high school coach at anacostia in southeast. he and his peers are at a cross roads, maybe unlike any other

previous time. teaching the game they love while processing the ever increasing data on collision sports and its long-term effects. >> i guess common sense would say head trauma, depression, would naturally go together. >> in 2010, the journal of the american medical association published a report saying people in high risk populations who sustained traumatic brain injury were almost eight times more likely to have depression. on the other hand, dr. christopher, pete pete yours pediatric doctor said it is not well understood. the more immediate risk for them is returning to play too soon. for parents, that's a lot of information to digest. >> when it comes to my son, i would love to watch him grow as a football player. >> in the case of rick and his son, they made a choice, too. no more football. they've turned to track. >> tough decisions there.

some football programs like gaithersburg perform tests for all of their players before they step on the field and every two years thereafter. it's not a requirement, but the head coach says better safe than sorry. >> it makes a lot of sense, thanks, dave. still ahead, the world's economic leaders come to camp david. we have a preview as they tackle the european debt crisis. and later on, we take you to joint base andrews for a preview of the weekend's air show. up next, a warning about poisoning with laundry soap. a health alert parents need to see.

our health alert tonight is an urgent warning from america's poison control center. young children are becoming violently ill after ingesting these, new superconcentrated packs of laundry detergent that come in pads and packets that dissolve super fast, as soon as they get wet. here's reports of poisoning. ten minutes after a 20 month old swallowed a packet, the child begins vomiting, wheezing, and becomes totally unresponsive. a 15 month old who bit into a pack had violent vomiting and then after getting to the hospital, had to be put on a ventilator to protect the airway. and a 17 month old bit into a packet and then rapidly

developed drowsiness, vomited, and also ended up on a ventilator. today, i spoke with dr. kathleen from the national capital poison center about why these little pods are causing a problem now. >> it's these new liquid pods. they are very, very concentrated. the 2x concentration, these are double that. just recently released at the end of february. so they are just hitting the shelves now and the kids are very attracted to them because some of them are brightly colored and they look like a candy, a pudding or something. so the kids touch it to their mouth and the liquid sort of just explodes into their mouth. they'll start to vomit and some of them are becoming unresponsive. so they are passing out. and we are seeing all these unusual effects in the kids. >> more poison centers are getting reports of children getting this in their eyes and

it's causing corneal abrasions. the message to parents, keep your detergent locked up and if you think one of them has gotten sick, exposed to packets or pods, call poison control at 1-800-222-1222 right away. this is 9news now. >> four days of international summits begin in our backyard. the annual group of eight meetings begin at camp david. our team coverage begins with danielle nottingham at the white house. >> reporter: president obama sat down with french president ahead of two big international summits. the newly elected french leader said he would carry out his pledge to get french combat troops out of afghanistan by the end of the year. >> we also discussed -- remind president obama that i made a promise to the french people. >> afghanta
