..... SINCE MY GRANDDAUGHTER WHO IS ONLY 17 MONTHS OLD, CAN NOT SEE A HAND

SANITIZER WITH OUT WANTING TO WASH HER LITTLE HANDS CLEAN.

A good reminder as school is back in session. With this swine flu hanging over

our heads children will be using hand sanitizer all the more.

Yesterday, my youngest daughter, Halle, who is just 4 years old, was

rushed to the ER by her father for being severely lethargic and

incoherent in her classroom. He was called to her school by the school

secretary who said that she was 'VERY, VERY SICK'! He told me that when he

arrived at her classroom, 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.

........

 

Right as we were leaving in the ambulance, her teacher arrived at the ER and

told us that after questioning Halle's classmates, She had found out that our

little girl had licked liquid hand sanitizer off of her hands!!!

 

>>>Hand sanitizer, of all things. But it makes sense. These days they have all

kinds of different scents and flavors and when you have a curious child, they

are going to put all kinds of things into their mouths.

 

When we arrived at the Saint Francis' Hospital ER, we told the ER Doctor there

to check her blood alcohol level, and yes we did get weird looks, but they did

it. The results showed her blood alcohol level was 85% (should we assume 0.085?)

-- six hours after we first took her. There's no telling what it would have been

if we would have requested it at the first ER. Since then, her school and a few

surrounding schools have taken.....

My children's school wants us to donate bottles of this stuff to the

classrooms. If anyone every sneezes on children who constantly use this

stuff, they will die! My kids have germs and are perfectly healthy LOL

carrots? sometimes.

there's sugar in hand sanitizer? it still doesn't cancel out the taste of the

rubbing alcohol., yikes.

 

 

 

 

[Guest guest]

Even 1 squirt apparently is quite risky, and that I can immagine - between oral

sensory focus still for so many young ones and they put artificial scents that

attract. You know how kids can be very uninhibited about exploring their

environment and not think.

 

Note - the Thieves waterless hand cleaner smells like cinnamon and clove - and

is real stuff, will only support their immune system if they taste it.

 

PS - yup, like the Bliss Kitchen suggests, a little raw sugar, and spice (like

cinnamon and clove!) and lots of butter or ghee will get them to eat carrots

I'll bet....and well cooked it is reported we have much better access to the

vitamin A than raw, interesting, eh? I did a dish for recent C-Section Mama

here with yams cubed and coated with a mix of succanat, ghee, lots of

ginger-pepper-cinnamon-clove and some salt, baked it mostly covered to stay

moist. Her digestive system had been troubling her, her agni was still low and

she SO liked it!

 

Love,

Ysha

that sounds good, Ysha. I'm going to make it for a mom sometime, maybe make it

for myself first.
