Can the constant use of hand sanitizers all day everyday cause harm to the liver ? or any other health issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hand Sanitizer: We all know that skin can become dry & cracked if repeatedly being washed or sanitized. Concern has been raised that some hand sanitizers may contain triclosan or triclocarbon which can reportedly be absorbed into the skin & impact thyroid or liver function. I don't know how much this is an issue but I have to clean my hands often & choose soap & water. It actually carries away dirt & germs.
