A warning for parents - RE: Hand Sanitizers (including Snopes link)

Check the link:

Use extreme caution when using hand sanitizer with children. I had never thought of this. I read the story and thought it couldn't be true, but it's been confirmed by snopes and really does make sense once you think about it.

Please be especially cautious with use of Hand Sanitizer that smells of Grape, Watermelon,etc.


(Got this from a friend. Went to Snopes to check it first and it is indeed listed as true.)

1. Oh good. Wait for the bureau of booze to have buyers whip out their ID cards in order to buy it.

:crazy:

2. Except for Commercial Kitchens and Doctors Offices ...

Plain old fashioned soap will do for most everyone.

In the meantime, whatever happened to the old skull & crossbones that used to show up on poisonous ingestants?

3. They've been replaced by Mr. Yuck. You can probably get some stickers

from your local Poison Control or Children's Hospital. Kids will drink the wierdest things. My neighbor's grandchild decided to chug some Clorox bleach!

4. Bush loves the stuff, doesn't he?

5. They'll take my sanitizer when the pry it from my cold, sterile hands
