I believe the it's clearly written as 'its for external use only, store in a cool and dry place, keep out of the reach of children', not to be used on cuts or taken orally. Drugs or chemicals not used according to prescription is drug abuse which makes it lethal.
Is so unfortunate that these things happen but then, let's keep to instructions.

Let us count the ways... that hand sanitizer can harm you.


Texas woman suffers severe burns after hand sanitizer catches fire



Throughout the country, citizens are using various cleaning and health care products to prevent the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). Experts recommend thorough handwashing, but hand sanitizer is a suitable alternative if you don’t have access to soap and running water during the pandemic.

But it looks like consumers need to be careful what brand of hand sanitizer they purchase, especially after a woman in Texas was hospitalized after the hand sanitizer she was using caught fire.

Hand sanitizer bottle exploded

According to local CBS affiliate KHOU-TV, Kate Wise suffered severe burns on her whole body after an incident involving hand sanitizer.

According to Wise, a resident of Round Rock, Texas, the incident occurred on August 30, Sunday after she applied an off-brand hand sanitizer that she had bought to protect herself and her three daughters from the coronavirus.

After using the hand sanitizer, however, her hand caught fire when she lit a candle. According to Wise, the flames from the candle made contact with the sanitizer’s bottle, which then exploded.

Within seconds of the explosion, the fire had spread not just to her face, but to the rest of her body. At this point, she says her two youngest daughters ran to the neighbors to get help.

Eventually, Wise was able to remove her burning clothes and get her disabled daughter and pets out of their house. Recalling what happened, Wise warned that doing something as simple as lighting a candle can be risky when flammable hand sanitizer is involved.

The Round Rock Fire Department is investigating the cause of the fire.

The rough and costly road to recovery

To help cover her medical expenses, a friend of Wise, Kathryn Bonesteel, set up a GoFundMe page.

On September 13, Sunday, Wise posted on the page to thank generous donors. She shared that she is now currently home recovering before her next surgery, which involves skin grafting.

Bonesteel has since warned others about purchasing off-brand products.

^^^ Well, are there any statistics that show us that alcoholics don't get Covid?

Cool

EDIT: Say, that's a great idea. Using perfume to get rid of bad breath.  Grin

Slava Ukraini!
I heard similar stories already some time ago. It looks really stupid idea, but I'm not surprised at all. Why? Answer is simple - alcohol. Some people, mainly poor or homeless addicted to it and trying to get in all possible methods without thinking about outcomes. They also drink mouthwash like Listerine with alcohol or even parfume.
Personally, I'm trying not to use hand santizers too often. Back in March I used it often, but I quickly realized that's not good idea. My hands skin become dry and more vulnerable. So, it's much better to use water and soap, like we used it whole our life. Hand sanitizer is good only when there is no way to wash hands with water.

The bleach in question is chlorine dioxide. It is used all over the world for water purification. Dupont sells it in bulk. But it is easy to make cheaply. Simply mix 5 drops of 50% citric acid solution, with 5 drops of 28% sodium chloriTe solution, and wait about 3 minutes. You might stir the mixture a bit during the 3 minutes. Then dump it into, say, 12 ounces of water, stir a little, and chug it down. Btw, search for it on the Net. There are people selling it all over the place... way cheaper than the doctor charges you for medicine.

It is cheaper because it will end up killing you faster than you can get sick. You can't be the charged at the doctor's office if you're dead, can you?

What do you have against Dupont? After all, they sell chlorine dioxide in bulk. And against all the bottled water companies, and Walmart produce departments, where it is used to sanitize water and produce? Simply crank up the strength of it a tiny bit, to kill off all those pathogens in your body.

Wash your hands to remove dirt and pollutants, but the natural bacteria on your skin is most effective in destroying viruses. That the way we have been protected for thousands of years, and excessive use of hand sanitisers just kills these beneficial bacteria, and leaves you unprotected when it has evaporated. I understand that the Corona virus  can't last for longer than 5 minutes on hands and arms with natural protection

Why ingest a hand sanitizer? I think it's pretty obvious that it's for the "hands" and is not supposed to be ingested even if they think they have the virus or whatever symptoms they may feel.

Boosting the immune system is always the best defense against this sickness. Anyway, this is a reminder to all of us that we have to be very careful with things that we use. They must be used only for the purpose they were created for.
Ingesting a hand sanitizer sounds crazy because there are some chemicals inside a hand sanitizer that could poison you. The hand sanitizer is only for your hands, so you shouldn't try it in other parts of your body. Also, washing your hands with soap every hour would be the best thing that you could do and proper exercise inside your home to keep you safe from the virus.

But if you ingest hand sanitizers or not, be sure to wash your hands for 20 minutes every 20 seconds. Grin

Swallowing hand sanitizer? Like -- why would anyone ever think that this is good idea. I'm pretty sure on the bottle it even says NOT to do that. Like EXPLICITLY NOT DO TO THAT.

there are idiots like badecker that will say that the do not consume warning is just a ploy where government doesnt want people to become immortal. so by telling them not to drink superpower juice they can stay slaves

so he will then cultishly tell people that hand sanatizer by having the dont consume warning must actually be superpower juice and people should drink gallons of it

thats how friggen stupid and cultish these idiots are

Drinking a sanitazer... Unless they did it by accident (like, for example children may see the beautiful bottle, open and drink from it) I guess it's a natural selection.
And the death reason will be apparently "COVID-19".

There are obviously more prevalent problems of misusing hand sanitizer rather then pointing to a few, interesting people, who decided to drink this stuff.

Here's a study regarding overuse of sanitzers and what it can cause - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7320712/#:~:text=Excessive%20use%20of%20alcohol%20based,skin%20(Tachikawa%2C%202020). - Just a few takeaways from reading for a few seconds:

Quote from:
...frequent usage of said hand sanitizers has reported increased chance of antimicrobial resistance and chance of other viral diseases.

These are about specific hand sanitizers. Read the little study for more info. This is an issue that is more prevalent then people just drinking sanitizer though.

I wonder if I can use some of the surplus hand sanitisers as fuel in my van when all the Covid nonsense finishes.

Misuse of hand sanitizers is very dangerous to health many are later in danger due to not being able to use it properly. Some sanitizers have high levels of methanol which is harmful to the human body. if too much methanol enters the body, blindness can lead to death. Makes the skin dry. There are breathing problems another danger is that methanol is flammable and can ignite flames. Therefore, if the soap is at hand, it is better not to use sanitizer.

My diesel engine injects fuel directly into the cylinders, but then bleach isn't a fuel.

As for killing bacteria. My body is full of beneficial bacteria, and the last thing I want to do is to kill them. Hence the reason that I won't use skin sanitisers.

Makes sense  Cheesy

But honestly why would people even drink sanitizers? It's called Hand Sanitizer for a reason. With so many fake news out their, it's just sad people falling for it.

news doesnt advertise chlorinated chicken
adverts do

again you dont understand the different kinds of media

maybe if you get off the SCi-fi channel that has tv adverts every 10 minutes and start watching and researching proper sources then you can find the differences

You don't think that they are all connected? Mwhahahahahahaha Cheesy lol.

Cool

if you think that what news presents is 100% sci-fi and what scifi produces is 100% news then you are fooling yourself

heck sci-fi is 100% sci-fi and news is 95% accurate fact. and its you that needs to look at the news and then study what it says and research the truth...
rather than your current method of ignoring the news and treating sci-fi as 95% fact

If, schmiff. If you think that anybody thinks that what the news presents is 100% sci-fi, you gotta be pretty weird. And essentially all sci-fi uses part of what is science knowledge in the sci-fi stories. If they didn't, it wouldn't be sci-fi. It would be magic, or fantasy.

However, news is accurately news, even if it varies in truth all over the place. Perhaps when you realize this, you will start to find out what the truth really is. You'd be a good researcher if you would look one or two steps beyond where you look when you are doing research.

These days media plays a big role, it has to be responsible but things take place in the opposite way. Same as that people should also learn the true need of sanitizers and the way it has to be used.

When people doesn't get anything to sedate them, automatically the mind wavers to find a solution for it. This is where it ends with the use of sanitizers and other kind of bleach that are specific for cleaning purpose.
