The active ingredient is alcohol and very strong at that (120+ proof). If they swallowed more than a tiny bit you need to contact poison control.
Hand sanitizers contain very large amounts of alcohol. If a child ingests it, they could suffer from alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning can lead to brain damage and death. If you have a child who has ingested hand sanitizer, you should call poison control or go to the ER immediately.
Dangerous! Major cause of accidental poisoning. Contact poison control immediately!
Children can get alcohol poisoning but it's not serious for adults.
How much sanitizer and what age is the child? You need to get to a hospital or call a poison control center
Well there was a guy in prison who was drinking it and got drunk... but unfortunately he also got SUPER sick because as it turns out... its not good for you.
