Hand Sanitizers: Keep Children Safe from Poisoning Risk
Hand Sanitizers: Keep Children Safe from Poisoning Risk
By: Kevin Osterhoudt, MD, MSCE, FAAP, FAACT, FACMT
Washing hands with soap and clean water for at least 20 seconds is the best way for children to get rid of germs, including the virus that causes COVID-19. If soap and water are not available, you can use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. However, use it with care around children, since swallowing hand sanitizer can cause poisoning.
Remember to keep hand sanitizers out of children's reach. Don't forget about travel-size bottles of sanitizer in purses, diaper bags, backpacks and cars. Supervise children ages 5 and younger when they use hand sanitizer. And when using hand sanitizer dispensers, it is important to position them in a way that won't squirt into your child's eyes.
Types of alcohol in hand sanitizers
Many hand sanitizers are made with alcohol or rubbing alcohol (ethanol, ethyl alcohol, or isopropanol, isopropyl alcohol). Alcohol poisoning symptoms include loss of balance, sleepiness, low blood sugar, seizures and coma, and it can be fatal.
