Liquid Hand Sanitizer & Washing Hand
Wash hand with soap and rinse by water is the normal practice to keep our hands clean. I did use antibacterial hand soap but I never try hand sanitizer until the AH1N1 arrived.
Clean and kill germs without rinse by water. For sure hand sanitizer brings convenience to everyone as well as to protect us from germs.
But this is the incident what we are not expected. Every product we used, we must used it in the correct way. This is the basic knowledge that we need to educate our children. Please beware.
In view of the AH1N1 liquid hand sanitizer has been widely used. Young or old please read and be aware.
Warning for all parents/grandparents, a friend sent this to me and I thought it was important enough to send on…..we all know someone with children -
Yesterday, my youngest daughter, Halle who is just 4 years old, was rushed to the ER by her father for being severely lethargic and incoherent in her classroom. He was called to her school by the school secretary who said that she was ‘VERY VERY SICK’!
He told me that when he arrived at her classroom, Halle was barely sitting in the chair. She couldn’t hold her own head up and when he looked into her eyes, she couldn’t focus them.
He immediately scooped her up and rushed her to the closest ER, and then called me. When he got there, they ran blood test after blood test and did x-rays, every test imaginable. Her white blood cell count was normal and nothing was out of the ordinary. When I arrived at the ER, the doctor there told us that he had done everything that he could do so he was transferring her to Saint Francis Hospital for further tests.
Right as we were leaving in the ambulance, her teacher arrived at the ER and told us that after questioning Halle’s classmates, she had found out that our little girl had licked liquid hand sanitizer off of her hands!
Hand sanitizer, of all things. But it makes sense. These days they have all kinds of different scents and flavors and when you have a curious child, they are going to put all kinds of things into their mouths.
When we arrived at the Saint Francis’ Hospital ER, we told the ER Doctor there to check her blood alcohol level, and yes we did get weird looks, but they did it.
The results showed her blood alcohol level was 85% – six hours after we first took her. There’s no telling what it would have been if we would have requested it at the first ER.
Since then, her school and a few surrounding schools have taken the liquid hand sanitizers out of all the lower grade classes, but what’s to stop middle and high scholars from ingesting this stuff?
After doing research on the Internet, we found out that it only takes about 3 squirts of the stuff ingested to be fatal to a toddler.
For her blood alcohol level to be so high, it would be like someone her size drinking 120 proof liquor. So PLEASE don’t disregard this because we don’t ever want another family to go through what ours has gone through.
Please send this to everyone you know who has children or are planning to have children.
It doesn’t matter what age. This could affect anyone of them.
Washing hand is easy but it can be a big knowledge to someone as well.
