It won't normally kill you.

Many people have tried drinking hand sanitiser because it contains alcohol.

However what these uneducated dimwits fail to understand, is that there is a difference between medical alcohol and drinking alcohol.

Medical alcohol, which is used in sanitiser, is used by doctors to kill bacteria in medical settings.

Drinking hand sanitiser will cause

  • Serious stomach upsets
  • Stomach cramps
  • Nausea
  • Burning throat.

Sometimes these can be severe enough to be hospitalised.

(And probably fined by law enforcement for being a total idiot, endangering your safety and wasting time that they'd rather spend on serious emergencies).

Hand sanitiser also contains a chemical called isopropanol, which causes blindness if you get too much in your system.

Excessive and/or regular consumption of hand sanitiser, or similar products, will slowly poison your body and bloodstream causing frequent pain to you stomach, liver, kidney and heart. It is a very slow and painful way to go.

There is no exact timeline on how long it will take to die, because it depends on how much the person has consumed, the strength of the person's body, the speed of their metabolism and so on.

In summary - only people lacking in education swallow medical alcohol products.

What is the best hand sanitizer?

Well, I have to be very honest. If you are looking for a hand sanitizer that provides you with quality and a fresh fragrance, then I suggest going to a BBW ( Bath and Body Works) near you. BBW Hand sanitizers provide you with complete satisfaction. Plus, you get to pick out your own fragrance! Such as, Warm Vanilla, Sweet Pea, or LOL lime. BBW hand sanitizers come in so many styles and fragrances that you'll be confused which one to pick out! I personally recommend picking out a hand sanitizer that has it's own lotion and perfume with it ( a full pack ) If you are looking for a medication hand sanitizer, or just a really great working hand sanitizer in an affordable range; I recommend Germ Pro (germpro.com)

How to Use Hand Sanitizer: Why You Shouldn’t be Using It (And When You Should)?

The invention and popularization of hand sanitizer is a great thing in modern culture. We all enjoy being able to carry around with us a little bottle with a magic chemical that replaces soap and water. Hand sanitizer can be very useful in situations where soap and water are inaccessible, and can definitely help you to be more healthful in those situations. Whether you’re a mom on the go, a frequent outdoorsman, a mysophobe, or just a normal person, you have probably benefitted at least once in your life from the use of hand sanitizer. Is hand sanitizer really as great as we think it is? The claims on the bottles of most hand sanitizer companies are soundly backed up by science. Any hand sanitizer that is made up of at least 65% alcohol will kill 99.9% of bacteria within 30 seconds, and after 1 minute will kill between 99.99% and 99.999%. Hand sanitizer kills germs. It does not, however, clean your hands – it just sanitizes them. That is to say, it does not actually remove dirt. The Mayo Clinic [http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hand-washing/HQ00407/NSECTIONGROUP=2] says that, while hand sanitizer is a perfectly acceptable alternative to soap and water, it should not be used when hands are visibly dirty. The real problem is that hand sanitizer is used most when soap and water are unavailable – like on a camping trip – when hands are very likely to be dirty. Keeping this all in mind, let’s look at how to properly use hand sanitizer. 1)Hand sanitizer is acceptable to use in many cases, as long as your hands are visibly clean, and the hand sanitizer is at least 65% alcohol. 2)To use hand sanitizer, pour out enough to thoroughly cover your hands and rub it in thoroughly for at least 25 seconds. 3)Remember that it can take up to a minute for hand sanitizer to be completely effective – so don’t just wet your hands and eat something! Also make sure that you have thoroughly rubbed it in so that you don’t accidently ingest the alcohol from the sanitizer.

How well do hand sanitizers work?

Where to buy ingredients for hand sanitizer?

To make hand sanitizer yourself, you only need two basic ingredients; isopropyl alcohol and a thickener. The best thickener would be an alcohol based hair gel, because it will not curdle and will mix consistently. Mix the alcohol and hair gel together and try to get an alcohol content of about 60%, and you'll have hand sanitizer. So you can get the ingredients from any store that sells isopropyl alcohol and hair gel.
