Parents and caregivers should be aware of the following tips regarding the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers:
Choose a sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol for maximum efficacy. Store hand sanitizers out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion. Educate children on the proper use of hand sanitizers. Be aware of the signs of alcohol poisoning, such as confusion or vomiting, and seek immediate medical attention if ingestion is suspected.
