Surprised..? me too! moreover, i have just purchased this:
(oh, saya beli brand ini sebab ada lavender! :) smells good!)
anyway, i got an email from my sister:
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 test s. 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 flavours 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 drinking 120 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.
kesian, kan...? :( so, marilah kita sama-sama tidak memakai hand sanitizer....

actually sy ni jenis yg sgt obses dgn hal2 hygiene nih
dlm umah penuh dgn mcm2 sanitiser
pi shopping bawa spray dettol tu utk spray dulu trolley n basket
alsyah pernah je termakan dettol sanitizer tu
alhamdulillah selamat takde sebarang mudharat
tp mmg sy menjerit setengah nyawa takut masa tu
lepas ni mmg sy akan lbih berhati2..
thanks millions
nk exchange link dgn i tak?
thanks for the info.
oh.. yg itu sa x perasan.. yg saya perasan di hospital pakai sabun bentuk foam, tapi yg itu kena bilas, kan..? :)
Tirana:
hehe.. save duit! saya dah terbeli! so sekarang ni, tengok saja lah.. :(
mama emma:
tu la.. saya pun ingat dia serap.. huhu :(
salwa:
uish.. saspennya... alhamdulillah x da apa2... :)
Mommy dania:
saya beli yg Guardian punya.. sebab ada bau lavender! :) wangi beb! :) tapi dah jadi gini, saya pun takut! :(
mama sarah syimir:
betul! saya pun sekarang da jadi x confident nak pakai chemical stuffs..
honeylanz:
erm.. tu lah.. saya pun baru tau.. aiyo.. takot!!!
MeL:
hehe.. tak tau la betul ke idak.. tapi saya pikir2, kan, ada logik nya di situ.. coz sanitizer kan nak bunuh kuman.. so bunuh pakai apa..? tu yg ada alkohol.. so kalau boleh guarantee anak kita x termakan/lick tangan kita, x pa la.. :) hihi.. saya tak berani... :)
mrs imran:
erm.. tu lah, katanya x perlu bilas.. tapi saya tak tahu pula, kalau kita pegang makanan apa jadi.. dll. nanti kita tanya pakar ya! :)
*tukar link..? boleh juga! :) tq...
Nurhayati:
aduhai....
Della:
erm.. saya tak kata confirm.. cuma mintak kita semua berwaspada la.. dah ada kes. takut2 terjadi pada kita.. so better cegah, rite..? :)
Zu, thanks for the info.. Saya baru je konon2 nak beli sanitizer nih.. Sebabnya tower tempat saya keje ni, sejak2 ada H1N1 ni, diorg letak sanitizer ni everywhere.. Tau dah pasal ni, cancel la nak beli.. better be safe than sorry.. :)
Tp dlm atikel tu ada mention dia p letak sanitizer tu kat kelas budak2 kecik (l0west grade), even if kat botol dh ada tls 'KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN' & 'FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY'. So, sapa yg ltak dlm kelas budak2 tu?
To be safe,jgn ltak benda ni merata2,tpt yg bole dicapai anak. Take as other chemical stuff lah. Mmg budak2 suka menjilat2 kan.
oh.. maknanya kalau dah kering, x apa ke kalau pegang makanan etc..? hihi.. was-was rasa.. :)
Hanz:
erm.. actually terpulang.. saya x la kata jangan pakai terus! cuma just be careful.. :)
Ummi Khayra:
oh.. ya ka..? betul.. saya setuju! :)
Fauzieah:
hihi.. saya baru je pakai.. best, sebab dia x lekit dan dia wangi! hehe.. tapi bila dah dapat tau cerita gini, saya pun dah x pakai dah.. hihi :) takot!!!
anon:
erm.. ya, thank you! saya pun agak-aak mesti ada alkohol dalam tu, cuma x sure berapa percentage dia.. :)
Umi Nawfal:
hihi.. sharing is caring! :)
Mommy Lyna:
erm.. saya pun rasa gitu.. untuk budak2 mmg sangat bahaya, meanwhile untuk kita yg dewasa ni, biasa je.. but still saya a bit cautious sebab alkohol tu serap dalam kulit and stuffs like that. haha :)
oho.. no wonder cepat sangat dia jadi vapor.. uih.. still takot! :(
