A member asked:

Can lysol cause sickness in kids?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YES: Lysol and all other household cleaners should be kept away from children. They can cause damage if they spill on skin or eyes, or severe damage if ingested. Please call 911 if you feel your children have ingested lysol.
