A member asked:
Can accidentally consuming hand sanitizer cause brain damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brain damage: Very unlikely to cause any brain damage if the amount was only what would be used on the hands. A large amount of this material could cause brain damage along with a number of other problems.
