THIS IS TRUE…..I LOOKED IT UP…HERE’S THE LINK

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 only
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
