The latest craze for children getting high: distilling hand sanitizer and drinking the liquid. The problem with this is that the liquid is a highly concentrated alcohol that is sending many children to the emergency with alcohol poisoning or worse causing their death. Being aware of this craze is not enough because every news program is providing our children with a road map of how to distill this easily available product using salt.
What should do to prevent your child from falling victim to this latest fad? First, talk to your children about the dangers of this phenomenon. In addition, consider replacing your home sanitizers with foam sanitizer, alcohol wipes or alcohol free sanitizers. Contact your schools to make sure that they are aware of this trend and encourage the school to change over to these other forms of sanitizers.
