GruntDoc with a Purell PSA last week. Now mainstream media is on the case:
“The widespread use of hand sanitizer is fraught with a great deal of danger,” said Suzanne Doyon, medical director of the Maryland Poison Center, who co-authored a letter in the journal about the case. “From an infection control perspective, they are excellent. But there is this risk involved.”
Purell, which is 70 percent alcohol, is far more potent than beer (5 percent), wine (10 percent) or hard liquor (40 percent). Doyon said the nonalcohol ingredients in hand sanitizer don’t pose a health risk if ingested.
