These specific hand sanitizer brands could contain methanol

Hand sanitizer is still a very important tool in fighting coronavirus!  Use this as a guide to see what brands to stay away from.

Hand sanitizer made by a Mexican company called Eskbiochem may contain something called wood methanol that’s extremely toxic.  “Methanol is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers and should not be used due to its toxic effects,” according to the FDA.

It can absorb through your skin and cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, blurred vision, seizures, nerve damage, permanent blindness, and even kill you.

So if you’ve been using any of these brands, STOP immediately and see a doctor.

Here are the brand names you need to worry about . . .

1. Esk Biochem Hand Sanitizer.

2. All-Clean Hand Sanitizer.

3. The Good Gel Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer.

4. Saniderm Advanced Hand Sanitizer

5. Four different types of a brand called CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer.

6. And Lavar 70 Gel Hand Sanitizer. That one was especially toxic. The FDA tested a bottle, and it was 81% methanol.
