This is not a Joke!

This was sent to me and I'm passing it along.
I have kids and a granddaughter.



This is a Warning for all parents / grandparents ... PLEASE !!!



Warning for all parents/grandparents, any one who babysits! a friend sent this to me and I thought it was important enough to

send on.....we all know someone with children --



Yesterday, my youngest daughter, Halle who is just 4 years old, was rushed to the ER by her father for being severely lethargic and incoherent in her classroom. He was called to her school by the school secretary who said that she was 'VERY VERY SICK ' !

He told me that when he arrived at her classroom, Halle was barely sitting in the chair. She couldn't hold her own head up and when he looked into her eyes, she couldn't focus them.



He immediately scooped her up and rushed her to the closest ER, and then called me. When he got there, they ran blood test

after blood test and did x-rays, every test imaginable. Her white blood cell count was normal, nothing was out of the ordinary.

When I arrived at the ER, the doctor there told us that he had done everything that he could do so he was transferring her to

Saint Francis Hospital for further tests.



Right as we were leaving in the ambulance, her teacher arrived at the ER and told us that after questioning Halle 's classmates, She had found out that our little girl had licked liquid hand sanitizer off of her hands !!! Hand sanitizer, of all things. But it makes sense.These days they have all kinds of different scents and flavors and when you have a curious child, they are going to put all kinds of things into their mouths.



When we arrived at the Saint Francis' Hospital ER, we told the ER Doctor there to check her blood alcohol level, and yes we did get weird looks, but they did it. The results showed her blood alcohol level was 85% -- six hours after we first took her. There's no telling what it would have been if we would have requested it at the first ER.



Since then, her school and a few surrounding schools have taken the liquid hand sanitizers out of all the lower grade classes, but what's to stop middle and high schoolers from ingesting this stuff?



After doing research on the Internet, we found out that it only takes about 3 squirts of the stuff ingested to be fatal to a toddler.



For her blood alcohol level to be so high, it would be like someone her size drinking120 proof liquor. So PLEASE PLEASE don't disregard this because we don't ever want another family to go through what ours has gone through.



Please send this to everyone you know who has children or are planning to have children. It doesn't matter what age. This could affect anyone of them .

Please feel free to copy and paste this to an e-mail.

Yeah, this has to be BS, my friends have tasted hand sanitizer before while messing around with the stuff, and it didnt do anything. Just tasted real bad..

EDIT: Just saw robbs post, why the heck werent my retarded freinds affected? Maybe they were just acting like they tasted it I guess..

I actually have heard of very young children getting "drunk" and very ill from hand sanitizer.

As with any chemical, just keep it away from babies and toddlers.
 
If you are tired of hearing me say this get ready:lol:

Once again I'll put the blame on CHINA!!! Before anyone says anything, I do but some Chinese junk!!! But in this case you would have to think maybe that the dispenser was in the restroom at the school maybe not. Anyway after research here is what I found. The bathroom dispenser type is made in CHINA. LINK:

I am sure we all have seen and hopefully used these. Although I wish they were made in the USA:roll:
 
I think we should put a total ban on it :roll:
I think we should ban EVERYTHING that has the ability to hurt ANYONE.
In this way we take the personality responsibilty out of the equation ;-)

No problem College Boy!

BTW, I've heard that your hands can explode if you have this stuff on them and you light up a cigarette. Be careful. "thumbsup"

But the Purell is still made in the USA. So while the dispenser might be made anywhere it is the Purell "juice" causing the problem, not the dispenser.

Also guys take note, while Purell can cause "drunk" kids. Its common competitors use Isopropanol which is fatal in the same dose. Purell uses ethyl (drinking) alcohol because it cleans well but it less harmful to children.

If you research you would find that GOJO makes the hand cleaner and was bought by Purell. It might say made in the USA but It seem it just might be the bottling of the juice that is done in the US.

Check this out: Scrool down to the bottom Country of origin???? CHINA
