Look For those of you Forum Members with young children

My sister sent this to me wanted to share info

FOR THOSE WITH CHILDREN/GRANDCHILDREN--PLEASE READ

I know you don't all have young children or grandchildren but I'm sure you know someone who you could share this with.

Subject: caution notice - children / grandchildren

True story.
Authenticity checked on snopes.com

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 tests.
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 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.
