A member asked:

What happens if i eat finger food after putting hand sanitizer? would the handsanitizer get on my food and into my stomach ? or?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Swallowing hand sanitizer is hazardous. However, only ingesting a lick amount on some food shouldn't be dangerous.
