Does sanitizer make problems for Kids?

  In this pandemic stage of corona, we the people are more conscious about personal hygiene, for that we used soap-water, and  alcohol based hand sanitizer, recommended alcohol percentage 60-95, below 60 percent alcohol content does not help for germs resistance. Not all hand sanitizers are created equally. Check the bottle for active ingredients. The alcohol content may be in the form of ethyl alcohol, ethanol or isopropanol. All of those are acceptable forms of alcohol. Be certain that no matter which type of alcohol is listed, its concentration is between 60 and 95 percent.  Alcohol content of less than 60 percent isn't enough to be effective.






   Meanwhile, one of the.research has found that hand sanitizers containing 60-95 percent alcohol must be kept out of reach of children. Accidental consumption of hand sanitizers in children may lead to vomiting and abdominal pain, and may further require medical treatment. Besides this, inhaling the sanitizer or entry of it into the eyes may cause breathing problems and irritation to the eyes. Hence, it is best to keep children away from hand sanitizers, especially those below 5 years of age.
