Welp, there’s just things you wish people were joking about. and then there’s those things that are shockingly true (or maybe not so shocking.) This week. the world was reminded once more that consuming hand sanitiser is about as smart as consuming bleach — and is very much advised against because it can and likely will be a fatal health hazard.
But for a group of four in New Mexico that health conscious tidbit apparently didn’t hit close to home as three are dead and one is in serious condition following said consumption. According to health officials in New Mexico, the person that is alive actually has entirely lost their vision due to consuming said sanitizer.
“If you think you may have used or consumed hand sanitizer containing methanol, please seek medical care,” state health Secretary Kathy Kunkel said in a statement per CNN. “An antidote to methanol poisoning is available, but the earlier someone gets treated for methanol poisoning the better the chance of recovery.”
