Anonymous Coward User ID: 79059933 United States 06/22/2020 06:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | FDA warns 9 brands of hand sanitizer may be toxic Quoting: Nine's The FDA is warning that the public should stop using 9 brands of hand sanitizer because the products may contain methanol, or wood alcohol. The FDA said Friday that consumers should stop using any hand sanitizer from Mexico-based manufacturer SA de CV, due to the potential presence of methanol, or wood alcohol, in its products. The FDA warned that methanol can be toxic when ingested or absorbed through the skin. "Therefore, FDA recommends consumers stop using these hand sanitizers and dispose of them immediately in appropriate hazardous waste containers. Do not flush or pour these products down the drain," the agency warned. The symptoms of substantial methanol exposure includes nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death. "Methanol is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers and should not be used due to its toxic effects," the agency warned. "Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol should seek immediate treatment, which is critical for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning." The FDA listed the following products in its warning: - All-Clean Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-002-01) - Esk Biochem Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-007-01) - CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 75% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-008-04) - Lavar 70 Gel Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-006-01) - The Good Gel Antibacterial Gel Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-010-10) - CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 80% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-005-03) - CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 75% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-009-01) - CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 80% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-003-01) - Saniderm Advanced Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-001-01) [link to www.foxnews.com (secure)] Heck we used to drink wood alcohol! |

Germ removal is 70% friction (from rubbing hands together under running water) and 30% cleaning agent. Some years back, there was speculation that pathogens were becoming resistant to hand sanitizers...so, one more reason to wash. |

Unfortunately there has never again been any Purell or GermX hand sanitizer in my area since the beginning of the virus back months ago. Also never has returned any Clorox Disinfecting Wipes. I hear they have this stuff in other places in TX but not in my area anywhere. |

The symptoms of substantial methanol exposure includes nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death. Just because YOU don’t believe in the Rougarou; or the Loup Garou, don’t make you safe; No ! The Constitution is a blend of 'moral certitude' -- which is one of the reasons that criminals are determined to be rid of it and We the People must be even more determined to defend it. "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." - Thomas Paine The only thing the Illuminati fears is an independent person who can live, eat, sleep, stay warm and defend themselves separate from Federal help. Pray that the Lord gives us more time! The End is near and time is short! A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. ~Proverbs 18:2 For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle" - James Keller Checkd, Keked, and Rekt! #Kids2 |

So people are actually drinking hand sanitizer to get drunk? This is my happening and it freaks me out! |

Unfortunately not really true. Just shows you should choose your friends carefully!! There are many indicators that an accelerant has been used in a fire not just the residue from an accelerant! Whilst with methanol or alcohol you cannot determine what exactly the accelerant was you can definitely say an alcohol was used as opposed to say petrol. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 63927796 United States 06/22/2020 06:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Strange- that the FDA has approved of Aspartame as a sweetener which breaks down into Methanol in the body and then further into Formaldehyde. Quoting: Pulse Code So, ingesting it is OK but, sanitizing hands is dangerous? Neotame is even worse than Aspartame. Neotame is chemically similar to aspartame, which is widely regarded as the most dangerous artificial sweetener. Both neotame and aspartame convert to formaldehyde when metabolized. However, the effects of neotame may be even worse because it includes 3-dimethylbutyl—one of the world’s most hazardous chemicals, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). |
