Children are getting drunk on hand sanitizer
~!!~Alcohol content in hand sanitizer can range from 45 percent to 95 percent, and ingesting as little as two squirts can lead to severe alcohol poisoning// As a point of reference, a full glass of beer contains an average of 5 percent alcohol//©
~!!~Nhaijah*s blood alcohol level was //179 after consuming the hand sanitizer, which would render most adults completely unable to drive// The six~year~old was kept overnight at a children*s hospital to monitor for potential brain trauma// The girl fell over and hit her head after ingesting the sanitizer//©
~!!~In 2010, 3,266 incidents of children ingesting hand sanitizer were reported to poison control centers// By 2014, this number had increased to 16,117 cases// Lopez has asked school districts to restrict access to hand sanitizer in schools, keeping it out of reach or replacing it with products that aren*t alcohol~based//©
