Dangers of Alcohol Hand Sanitizers

Alcohol Hand Sanitizers are used in most industries around North America.  Disinfection with alcohol deprives skin of oil and water and can result in rough hands if done in excess.

Dry and damaged skin could become a hotbed of disease bacteria and also increase the risk of viruses entering the body through cuts in the skin says industry experts.

Over time, use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause the skin on your hands to age more rapidly than it would naturally, as dry skin is prone to developing wrinkles and other blemishes.

As families began buying more hand sanitizer during the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Poison Data System started getting more reports of unintentional exposures in children. In the first half of 2020, there have been 46% more reported cases about hand sanitizer than during the same time last year. Many reports were about children ages 5 years and younger. Swallowing just a tiny amount of alcohol in hand sanitizers can cause alcohol poisoning in children.

The average person touches their face over 1,000 times a day.

The FDA first warned about some of the methanol-containing hand sanitizers being sold in retail stores and online in June of 2020. The agency issued a further warning earlier this month about an increasing number of adverse events, including blindness, cardiac effects, effects on the central nervous system, and hospitalizations and death, primarily reported to poison control centers and state departments of health. The agency continues to see these figures rise.
