Don't let your kids use these hand sanitizers. They absorb through the skin and metabolize into formaldehyde. (Adults probably shouldn't use them either)

@0x56 these are the BAD TOXIC ones, correct?
@erose - yes, these are the methanol, not ethanol ones that cause blindness, coma, death, and all other sorts of bad things.
@yogapaddlerun @erose - no, it's the children who are more susceptible to it via skin absorption.
Lately the only thing that can trigger an extreme fear reaction in me is a dearth of chocolate. (That's a joke, but honestly, I watch human self destructive activities with a fair degree of detachment thses days.)
It's good for people to be informed, ty for the notice. My comment was to catch those coming on the list, to bookend the post this-is-not-recommendations
i would be kinda surprised if thin skins of elderly were not also...?
@0x56 @erose Methanol is not a good idea, don’t get me wrong (mostly it is REALLY drying on skin). Want people to have an informed risk assessment and not extreme fear reaction.
