Yes, drinking hand sanitizer can be potentially lethal. Hand sanitizers typically contain a high concentration of alcohol, usually ethanol or isopropyl alcohol, which is effective in killing germs on the skin. However, these alcohol-based sanitizers are not meant to be ingested.
If a person drinks a significant amount of hand sanitizer, it can lead to alcohol poisoning. Symptoms of alcohol poisoning include confusion, dizziness, vomiting, seizures, slow or irregular breathing, unconsciousness, and even death. The severity of the symptoms depends on the amount of alcohol consumed and the individual’s tolerance.
