- Yesterday, a young girl, Halle who is just 4 years
old, was rushed to the ER by her father for being severely lethargic and
incoherent in her classroom.
-
- He was called to her school by the school secretary who
said that she was very, very sick.
-
- He told me that when he arrived at her classroom,
Halle was barely sitting in the chair. She couldn't hold her own
head up and when he looked into her eyes, she couldn't focus them.
- He immediately scooped her up and rushed her to the closest
ER, and then called me. When he got there, they ran blood test after blood
test and did x-rays, and every test imaginable.
-
- Her white blood cell count was normal, nothing was out
of the ordinary. When I arrived at the ER, the doctor there told us
that he had done everything that he could do so he was transferring her
to Saint Francis Hospital for further tests.
-
- Right as we were leaving in the ambulance, her teacher
arrived at the ER and told us that after questioning Halle 's classmates,
She had found out that our little girl had licked liquid hand sanitizer
off of her hands !!!
-
- Hand sanitizer, of all things. But it makes sense.These
days they have all kinds of different scents and flavors and when you have
a curious child, they are going to put all kinds of things into their mouths.
-
- Since then, her school and a few surrounding schools
have taken the liquid hand sanitizers out of all the lower grade classes,
but what's to stop middle and high schoolers from ingesting this stuff?
-
- After doing research on the Internet, we found out
that it only takes about
- 3 squirts of the stuff ingested to be fatal to a toddler.
-
- For her blood alcohol level to be so high, it would be
like someone her size drinking120 proof liquor. So PLEASE
PLEASE don't disregard this because we don't ever want another family to
go through what ours has gone through.
-
- Please send this to everyone you know
- that have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews
or cousins. It doesn't matter what age. This could affect anyone of them
.
