While hand sanitizer is generally safe when used as directed, ingesting it can be extremely dangerous and potentially lethal due to its high alcohol content, usually around 60-70% ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. Consuming even small amounts can lead to alcohol poisoning, especially in children. Additionally, some hand sanitizers contain toxic substances like methanol, which can cause serious harm or death if ingested. Always keep hand sanitizer out of reach of children and use it only externally.
