A growing number of teenagers have turned to guzzling hand sanitizer in a desperate effort to get a buzz. According to reports, six teenagers recently ended up in Southern California emergency rooms with alcohol poisoning after consuming large amounts of the gel. Doctors warn that although it has only emerged in recent months, the trend is gaining momentum. Sanitizers are inexpensive and accessible, and with distillation instructions available online, teens are taking advantage of the 62 percent ethyl alcohol content and turning a product designed to sanitize hands into a 120-proof drink. Experts comment that drinking the sanitizer is similar to a shot of hard liquor. Just a few drinks can cause a person's speech to slur and stomach to burn, and make them so drunk that they have to be monitored in the emergency room. To minimize the threat, experts recommend purchasing foam sanitizers over the gel options. It is reportedly more difficult to extract the alcohol from foam and teens would be less likely to consume it. Click here for additional reporting on this topic.

Helping Schools Ensure Hand Sanitizer Gets Utilized



Hand sanitizers, while touted as the next best thing when hand washing is not an option, are a sticky situation. Many schools have banned the use of alcohol-based products, while the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) still promotes their use.

“The Federal Department of Agriculture and the CDC recommend alcohol-based sanitizers with a minimum alcohol content of 60 percent,” says Mark Bishop, Mark Bishop, vice president of policy and communications with the Chicago-based Healthy Schools Campaign.

Study Finds Bacteria in Unused Paper Towels

Study Finds Bacteria in Unused Paper Towels


According to a recent pilot study, bacteria can reside on unused paper towels and can transfer to hands after washing. The study, which was published in the American Journal of Infection Control, found that the types of bacteria on unused towels can make people sick, but has yet to cause any reported illnesses.

According to WebMD Health News reporting, experts say the findings are probably most important for people in hospital isolation units and those with weakened immune function who need to be extra cautious about contact with germs.

That said, researchers at Laval University in Canada tested six brands of commercial paper towels that are often found in public bathrooms. They found bacteria in each sample and noted that the towels made from recycled fibers were the most heavily contaminated.

Reports indicate that the concentration of bacteria in the recycled paper was between 100- to 1,000-fold higher than the virgin wood pulp brand. Researchers suspect that the bacterial slime known to be a problem at recycled paper mills, corrodes machines and may damage finished paper sheets. Bacteria may also thrive in recycled paper because it contains binding ingredients like starches and fillers that serve as food.

According to the reports, most of the bacteria found in paper towels were Bacillus bacteria, many of which can produce toxins that cause food poisoning. One brand of paper towel contained Bacillus cereus bacteria, which can cause food poisoning, but also has been associated with infections of the eyes, lungs, blood, and central nervous system.

Researchers stress that the amounts of bacteria found would likely have little to no affect on healthy people, but they may be problematic to individuals with weakened immune systems. Even so, until more is known, experts agree that this one study shouldn’t be a reason to avoid the use of paper towels.
