I spoke with several of my son's doctors and they've all said that the small bit a child might lick off his hands after a parent rubs some in won't hurt them. it's only if they are squirting large amounts into their hands and licking that off that it is dangerous.<br /><br />That said, yes, the stuff is EVERYWHERE in schools! At my son's old school they used to have huge dispenser bottles sittin gon the counters where the preschool children could reach it as often as they wanted.

I keep sanitizer in the car for when the kids leave school or after being in the grocery store etc. With all the flu hysteria it makes me feel a bit better to have them clean with the sanitzer before we reach home and they have access to soap and water.<br /><br />Hope you are doing well.The Me/ The Wife/ The Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13688819632182128904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881712399889353954.post-42673235006306181732009-10-23T14:09:00.262+01:002009-10-23T14:09:00.262+01:00I've read this one before.

A blood alcohol level of 85% is literally impossible. .08% is legally drunk. <br /><br />Another warning about this sanitizer stuff though: It is extremely flammable. Make sure if you are cooking and use it on your hands in the kitchen, that your hands are completely dry before going anywhere near the stove or other heat source.~Tom~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02867969016263231633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881712399889353954.post-88998870105737437902009-10-23T13:57:30.559+01:002009-10-23T13:57:30.559+01:00Sally, how shocking and how lucky to have discover...Sally, how shocking and how lucky to have discovered the cause before really serious damage was done to the child. <br /><br />Another symptom of new technology but at what cost?<br /><br />Hope you are well Sal:)xxxGloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656576703356658911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1881712399889353954.post-31522459987646758762009-10-23T13:14:35.580+01:002009-10-23T13:14:35.580+01:00The public school I volunteer in has dispensers at...The public school I volunteer in has dispensers at every door of every classroom.

I frequently objected because I believe they remove the beneficial bacteria from the skin as well as the bad (I have had dreadful eczema after using these cleansers). This is way more serious and there should surely be a return to sensible handwashing with ordinary soap and water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
