Alcohol posioning after girl used alcohol based hand sanitizer

Choose EVIDA, our Alcohol Free hand sanitizer.

I don’t know where to begin because the last 2 days of my life have been such a blur. Yesterday, My youngest daughter Halle who is 4, was rushed to the emergency room by her father for being severely lethargic and incoherent. He was called to her school by the school secretary for being “very VERY sick.” He told me that when he arrived that 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.

Right when we were leaving in the ambulance, her teacher had come to the ER and after questioning Halle’s classmates, we found out that she had licked hand sanitizer off her hand. Hand sanitizer, of all things.

Why are Alcohol-based Hand Sanitizers not recommended ?

Alcohol is a very good killer of Bacteria, but it will only be on your skin for 7 – 10 seconds, before vaporising.
And while it is there, Alcohol removes the lipids, which is one of our bodies’ natural defences against bacteria.
Repeated usage of alcohol actually increases skin bacteria five hours later, compared with using nothing at all.
It will dry our skin and can cause painful irritations, that last for days.

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers does not offer enough protection against Norovirus and other germs (only 99.99%).
To kill 99.999% of the germs, Eco Verde Foaming Hand Sanitizers uses an active ingredient, benzalkonium chloride, an alcohol-free antimicrobial compound which has been widely used in hospitals for more than 60 years in surface cleaners, sterilizing agents, leave-on FDA Monograph and anti-bacterial skin treatments.

Singapore confirms first H1N1-related death – Channel News Asia

SINGAPORE: A 49-year-old H1N1 patient, with multiple health problems, died on Saturday afternoon. The Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a statement that he died of a heart attack, contributed by severe pneumonia and H1N1 infection.

The victim, who had diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, was admitted to Changi General Hospital on July 16 after four days of flu-like symptoms.

MOH added that a 55-year-old man, also with multiple health problems, is the latest H1N1 patient to be admitted to intensive care.

He was tested positive for H1N1 after being admitted into Singapore General Hospital’s (SGH) intensive care unit.

He went to SGH on July 17, complaining of shortness of breath and fever, and was admitted after investigations showed that he had suffered an acute heart attack. The patient is currently in stable condition.

MOH said while the majority of H1N1 cases remains mild, the virus can cause complications and even death in high-risk individuals with underlying medical conditions.

Individuals in the high-risk group are advised to seek prompt medical attention if they suffer flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat and runny nose.

Members of the public who develop influenza-like illness can visit their nearest Pandemic Preparedness Clinic or their GP clinics for initial assessment and treatment.

If symptoms are severe, such as breathlessness and chest pains, members of the public are advised to call 995 immediately for an emergency ambulance.

Importance of Keeping Alcohol Based Hand Sanitizer Away from Children

<blockquoteMany children are being hospitalized every year because of hand sanitizer. The ethyl alcohol level contained in some hand sanitizers is so high that even a very small amount can be fatal or cause hospitalization to your child. All the child needs to do to receive these complications is to lick or eat a small dollop of the sanitizer from their hands or consume even a small dollop from the bottle. The smaller the child is, the smaller the amount needs to be to cause a negative reaction, although each individual will differ in the rate at which alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream.

The alcohol content in hand sanitizers is astounding, at levels as high as 62%, which is even higher than that of vodka. What's worse, is that the sanitizers that don't contain ethyl alcohol contain isopropanol, an even more deadly alcohol substance, contained in rubbing alcohol as well.

• Be concientious, don’t wipe your spit/mucus everywhere.
• Stay home, recuperate, get well soon!
