Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 it has an extremely high alcohol content and you are right it is only dangerous to kiddos that put their hands in there mouth. Good news is there is an alternative out there new on the market called Clean Well it is all natural plant based and alcohol free. It comes in a pump spray bottle and sold at Target stores. I think it smells a little weird and is a little expensive compared to traditional sanitizer but it os easy to use and is supposed to be safer for infants and children. I learned about it at one of my moms group meetings. we get to demo new products before or right at launch to the public. it is cool because iy may be 1500.00 stroller or nifty little gadgets that a mom imvented to make life easier. so we have lots of cool goodies no one has ever heard about. Sent from AT & T's Wireless network using Mobile Email - Hand sanitizer I got an email from my sister-in-law about dangers of hand sanitizers. Not that it is bad to use, but if little ones get a hold of it, it can be dangerous. It was confirmed on Snopes. I just thought some of you might have a kiddo like mine that loves to taste everything. Here is the link to check it out for yourself. http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/sanitizer.asp Angie _________________________________________________________________ Bing� brings you maps, menus, and reviews organized in one place.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Angie: Thanks for the info. My little guy sticks his hands in his mouth constantly, so I keep lotion, hand sanitizer and similiar items off of his hands. Not good for the monkey digestive system. And let me just say I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who Snopes everything before I pass on any information. It's to the point now that I often post the Snopes info and reply to the 9,999,999,999,999,999 forwards of " lethal " , " extremely toxic " , and " potentially deadly " items on a daily basis.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Thanks for the info about Clean Well. My oldest son has Molluscum Warts (he got from a kid at daycare) and is constantly using hand sanitizer after he touches the warts. They are very contageous and we are in the very painful process of having them removed so he uses the hand sanitizer so Vinny doesn't get them. He's actually become a little OCD about it. Vinny actually grabbed his face the other day where the wart is so I put hand sanitizer on his hand but it was the thumb that he sucks. I tried not to get too much on his thumb but I figured that it wouldn't be as bad as the warts. I'll definately check out the Clean Well. Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 No, you're not the only one who does that Mike! In fact, if someone's " spread the panic " e-mail references Snopes, I make DOUBLE SURE to check it out! I've actually gotten some e-mails from people who put " snopes-approved " or some such message on it just so people will believe them. It's pretty funny when I go to Snopes and part of their article about the subject says something to the effect of " ...and no this hoax is NOT Snopes approved like it says it is! " I always copy and paste the snopes link disclaiming whatever urban legend it is and reply to all, so everyone will know the truth. Of course, the same old people keep sending out the urban legends. They just can't help themselves, no matter HOW MANY times they are wrong! LOL! A. Special Educator Simon Kenton HS 11132 Madison Pk.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 yep! I am the same way! I always check it out first. As for the hand sanitizer I had heard about that a while back and I agree that the hand sanitizer can be dangerous if you dont make sure it is rubbed in completely first.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Angie and group, Once the hand sanitizer is dry, which only takes a minute of waving your hands to air dry, the danger of alcohol poisoning is virtually extinct. We make a game of it and shake our hands and dance around when we use it, which is quite regularly. I have a 2 year-old that sucks his thumb all the time, but I have taught him we have to wait a few minutes for the alcohol to evaporate and he does the hand shake dance also. We get a lot of giggles at the same time. Once the alcohol evaporates, the danger is gone also. > > > I got an email from my sister-in-law about dangers of hand sanitizers.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 , How " legal " is that for a child to be at a daycare with a communicable thing such as this? I am not sure what M. Warts are, but if they are that contagious, then why doesn't the daycare ban the child until they are removed and he/she is safe to return wthout contaminating others? Just curious if anyone has mentioned that? I would be so infuriated. > > > > it has an extremely high alcohol content and you are right it is only dangerous to kiddos that put their hands in there mouth.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 , I didn't realize he had them until it was to late. When I told the school about the warts they said that the kid who had them was gone (he went to public school). In Feb. I had to pull my oldest out of Montisorri and put him in public school because of financial reasons. He came home from school one day and told me he found the kid who gave him the warts and when he said something to him about it the kid told him his mom said not to say anything to anyone about them. Can you believe that!!!!! I was the first one to tell all of my sons friends moms (my friends outside of school) and also notify the school about it. In a situation like that, embarassing of not, you have to let people know and then give them the choice wether they want to let their kids be around your kids or not. When my son told me that I was livid!!!!! I ended up telling the teacher and they handled it. We are on the second treatment now and it just keeps getting more and more painful for him. Once the doc applies the treatment, which is acid based, you have to wait 4 hrs and take a shower to wash it off. Well when we went into the shower this time he was screaming his head off. My husband (we are still seperated) pulled up in the driveway and he ran into the house because he heard ie screaming from outside!! The medicine not only burned the warts but also the skin around them. So you can imagine how I would not want Vinny to get them because its either treat it or let it go away by themselves in 7 years, what would you do? > > > > > > it has an extremely high alcohol content and you are right it is only dangerous to kiddos that put their hands in there mouth.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 How horrible!!! Yeah,the Mom did not want him to tell because it is a highly contagious herpes related virus (I looked it up after my posting) and it lives on inanimate things also!!! So, anything that kid touched (or now your child touches) can transmit that virus. I think I would notify the local public school just because this kid and Mom are hiding it. It would be interesting to know how the other kid got it? So sad....I bet you were so angry. > > > > > > > > it has an extremely high alcohol content and you are right it is only dangerous to kiddos that put their hands in there mouth.
