RE: HAND SANITIZER

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 three 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.

Please send this to everyone you know that have children,
grandchildren, nieces, nephews or cousins.


It doesn't matter what age. This could affect anyone of them .
