Ingestion of hand sanitizer can result in alcohol poisoning. Hand gel sanitizer and wipes contain a surprising amount of alcohol. Bottles do contain explicit warnings, but most people dont' think of the poisoning danger. Don't leave the sanitizer down for the child to get hold of. Watch your children very carefully. :) This is a true story. I know it was going through the email, but it is true...I checked it out at SNOPES.COM. You can read about it here...http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/sanitizer.asp

Wow, I never would have thought about this and it's really a great point. I'll have to think more conciously about what I do with the bottles of this stuff.
