Hand sanitizers must be used with utmost care and should not be handled by small children’s except under parental supervision. Some of the key safety concerns related to hand sanitizers are:
Alcohol poisoning: Ingesting hand sanitizers can lead to serious negative health effects and even death due to the presence of denatured alcohol.
Fire hazards: Alcohol present in hand sanitizers is quite flammable and can catch fire when exposed to open flames or high temperatures. Hand sanitizers should be used carefully particularly while coking near an open flame, as there may be a chance of our body surface catching fire if the alcohol is not dried properly.
Skin irritation: Many people can experience skin irritation due to alcohol and other additives added in hand sanitizers
