Kids eating hand sanitizer not common, but problem is growing

More kids are ingesting hand sanitizer here and nationwide, according to the Central Ohio Poison Control Center and an analysis out of the Georgia Poison Center in Atlanta. While significant consumption of sanitizer can lead to drunkenness and poisoning, almost all of the cases involve kids who taste just a little and are unharmed, said Henry Spiller, director of the central Ohio center that is affiliated with Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
