People are getting sick and even dying after swallowing hand sanitizer, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday. Four died and others have suffered impaired vision or seizures, the CDC says.

Hand sanitizer is everywhere and is useful for cleaning the hands during the coronavirus pandemic. But it's not safe to swallow, the CDC cautions. "Alcohol-based hand sanitizer products should never be ingested," the CDCA CDC team described the cases of 15 adults in Arizona and New Mexico hospitalized for methanol poisoning after consuming alcohol-based hand sanitizers between May and June.The CDC is not sure why people might drink hand sanitizer.

CDC researchers and their partners in Arizona and New Mexico reviewed 62 call records to poison centres from May through June to characterize cases that could be methanol poisoning from alcohol-based hand sanitizer. The researchers also obtained medical records for additional details. But the report does not provide information as to why people were ingesting hand sanitizer.The researchers found 15 people, ages 21 to 65, were admitted to a hospital after ingesting alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

From Tide pods to hand sanitizer..no hope for people

Darwin

WHY IS NO ONE REPORTING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S COVID 19 SUPPORT FOR HANDICAP AND DISABLED NOT HAPPENING TILL SOMETIME THIS FALL? ARE YOU ALL THAT AFRAID OF GOVERNMENT IGNORANCE?

Wow

It's called natural selection.

And I wonder who told them to inject disinfectant!!!!!

What a bunch of idiots, it’s the alcohol stupid

And this is news in Canada?

How crazy could be human to drink such things. Drugs liquor cigarettes killing every day hundreds a day. Who’s fault parents Government & drug dealers. Big personalities died because of drugs. Justin signer will be next because of drugs. God bless all ❤️👍

Perhaps these are citizens you don't need to have lol.

And that is a surprise?

Natural selection at its best

I wonder where they got that dumb ass idea from? rumpviris? WTF America? Keep the Canadian 🇨🇦 / US border closed, like maybe forever.. Holy stupid people...

They have switched from tide pods!

🤣

They have been doing it at the hospital here in Calgary for years. We catch them filling cups from the wall mounted dispensers

They are doing it for the alcohol .. think they can get a buzz..

We probably didn't need those guys.

This headline speaks for it self just thinning the herd

Natural Selection

Unreal

LOOOOL I WONDER WHO RECOMMENDED IT.

Americans love to follow their president. I remember Trump statement regarding injecting disinfectant to cure Corona virus

Lmfao

Fewer people in the Trump fan base I guess

Why people do it

Thinning the herd

I guess the Tide Pods weren’t cutting it🤷🏻‍♀️

God bless America or should i say god help them.

BFJB_ I bet they were Trump supporters.

Incredible!

What happened to tide pods?

Let me guess, Trump’s fault?

How many times are you going to re-post this story?

Drinking it for the alcohol

And the problem is?

Of course they are. Exhausting.

What? Drinking it? What the? What goes on down there in the USofA...? Yikes...put it on your hands!

Who needs to drink the koolaid!

Can’t fix stupid

raedangelo

Wow, that's a whole lot of dumb.

Only the die hard realDonaldTrump minions who will do anything he tells them.

OMG ...what next........it is called HAND sanitizer not THROAT sanitizer...this mind boggling 🤬🇨🇦❤️🙏

Who is that dumb?

Natural selection. If you can't figure out as an adult that you shouldn't drink this stuff nobody should intervene. Stop the stupid genes from propagating asap

No different then those drinking antifreeze an so on

Why are you not doing news on Tredeau? Oh right he pays you with our money just like the CBC globalnews. Why would you look into what's really going on in Canada and do real journalism? When JustinTrudeau is paying you all with our money. What a low life group you all are.

Hahaha Trump full

Idiots !

Let them keep drinking it. They're not trying to get high, just trying to prevent the virus from living in the body. Smart people, those Trump followers.

Wow really

This is evolutions way of getting rid of the stupidest people.

Less trump supporters the better.

Survival of the fitest...some just learn this rule quicker than others.🤦

MAGA

1967Snow People have been doing this for YEARS!!! And all over the world.

CNN 🤣🤣🤣🤣 CNN 🤣🤣🤣 CNN 🤣🤣 = CNN = Enemy of the People

People drink all sorts of things, from Lysol, shoe polish, vanilla extract to cologne for the alcohol. Sad. Methanol vs ethanol a major error in this case, but not surprising.

Natural selection at work.

You can’t help people that stupid. And it is no ones fault but their own If they are that seriously stupid.

If they drank it because they had Covid then they likely just died of Covid, right?

Very unintelligent people dying after following advice from a very unintelligent president.

Remember I’m the BeforeTimes when all we had to worry about was Tide Pods?

10 yrs from now people are going to have lymphoma and other diseases related to bathing in ethanol for months because they were told they were going to die.

WOW!! That's incredible!! Hard to believe that people would actually drink hand sanitizer... I wonder if they're Trump supporters🤔🤔🤔

The stupids down south need a label that says do not drink on the bottle , and up here it should say drink if your a stand up liberal follow the PM he drinks it too

If only there were a medicine you could get over the counter and was cheap so that people who are sick or afraid and don't have a doctor can easily take it. Oh wait, there is one but, the media and the government want more people to die. so never mind.

That's what their leader told them to do. There's no cure for stupid.

Another proof that a large amount of humanity will go extinct

Well how stupid are they then? Natural selection, in full effect!

Perhaps write about inuit drinking it in vanier. Closer to home

Same pic, same headline. How many days does the news repeat itself? Be like the inner city shootings in gta and have something new each day.

Why would we want to know that, if it’s happening down there it happens up here, poor journalism

Following Trump`s instructions.

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🤦🏼‍♀️

Good. Keep drinking it.

You can’t fix Addicts that will drink anything with alcohol

Why

Only in America 😞

Improving the breed, and reducing GOP voters. Win-win!

There are certain types of people who deserve the outcome. If you think drinking sanitizer somehow cleanses or protects, you probably weren't going to last long anyway.

Maybe it’s the former teenagers that were eating tide pods a few years ago 🤷🏻‍♀️

Really.. you have to be told not to drink it.. 😳wow!!! Common sense doesn’t come into play?🙄!

It’s the best preventative measure to take before going to the protest. It’s the reason numbers didn’t increase after.

You need to mix with half bottle of cheap wine and a dash of vanilla extract. Better than LSD!

Sounds like Darwinism.

realDonaldTrump

Lol how anyone believes cdc anymore is beyond me.

Biden’s voter base is shrinking even further!

In real news.....

That's just natural selection especially when you're stupid enough to think that would work.

ElaineS41103933 Darwinism is alive and well.

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ Thinning out the herd...

🙄

Idiots

...Why are people drinking hand sanitizer?!

Courtesy realDonaldTrump ! Idiot followers I’m sure.

Cheap drunks...

Here’s your daily dose of propaganda to distract and give you a negative view of the US.

They have a problem with wearing face mask but drinking hand sanitizer is ok WTF.

Culling of the herd.

Good! There’s too many stupid Americans out there anyway. This will help weed out the ones that shouldn’t be there anyway.

Really WOW that’s surprising

This is just weeding out the stupid. Society is not losing anything

Nothing new. People have been drinking the stuff since it came out. WE want real news TrudeauMustGo LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Trump told them to do this. Second degree manslaughter?

Gotta have that alcohol

Ah this gives me hope for our future

All republicans guaranfukinteed ! I’ve done the math on this! Lmfao.

LOL Great American!!

15 cases. Is that worthy of news? Don't people do stupid shit like this all the time?

Can’t prevent Darwinism...

leeshutterbug Didn’t we go down this road back in March? Apparently Trump supporters aren’t any better at learning from experience than he is.

Please keep the borders closed

Natural Selection at its best. If you need to be told not to drink that I have lost hope.
