IE - Lethal Handwash Warning

Hospitals in Ireland and the UK are on alert after five deaths were reported after hospital patients drank a handwash gel used to prevent the spread of the MRSA bug in hospitals.
Now it has been reported that teenagers are drinking this potentially lethal mixture of hospital hand gel and cola to get drunk in Ireland. This product is also available in supermarkets so parents, teachers and supermarket managers need to be alerted.
