Ok. I don't know where to begin because the last 2 days of my life
have been such a blur. Yesterday, My youngest daughter Halle who is 4,
was rushed to the emergency room by her father for being severely
lethargic and incoherent. He was called to her school by the school
secretary for being "very VERY sick." He told me that when he arrived
that 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 called me after he scooped her up and rushed her to
the ER. When we got there, they ran blood test after blood test and did
x-rays, every test imaginable. Her white blood cell count was normal,
nothing was out of the ordinary. The ER doctor told us that he had done
everything that he could do so he was sending her to Saint Francis for
further test. Right when we were leaving in the ambulance, her teacher
had come to the ER and after questioning Halle's classmates, we found
out that she had licked hand sanitizer off her hand.

Hand sanitizer, of all things. But it makes sense. These days they
have all kinds of different scents and when you have a curious child,
they are going to put all kinds of things in
their mouths.
When we arrived at Saint Francis, we told the ER doctor there to check
her blood alcohol level, which, yes we did get weird looks from it but
they did it. The results were her blood alcohol level was 85% and this
was 6 hours after we first took her. There's no telling what it would
have been if we would have tested it at the first ER.
Since then, her school and a few surrounding schools have taken this
out of the classrooms of all the lower grade classes but what's to stop
middle and high schoolers too? After doing research off the internet,
we have found out that it onl y takes 3 squirts of the stuff to be fatal
in a toddler. ! For her blood alcohol level to be so high was to compare
someone
her size to drinking something 120 proof. So please PLEASE don't
disregard this because I don't ever want anyone to go thru what my
family and I have gone thru. Today was a little better but not much.
Please send this to everyone you know that has children or are having
children. It doesn't matter what age. I just want people to know the
dangers of this.
Thank you Lacey Butler and family

these things can happen.

teacher to get it out of there class.

hand sanitizer kills the healthy bacteria that help defend the body as
it kills the infectious bacteria

When I was a kid, I almost choked on a penny once. It was caught in my
throat..
