Wipeout

A mixed blessing?   (Photo by Breawycker)

Humans have been trying to wipe out COVID-19 for a couple of years, and cancer for at least a couple of millennia.  Wiping out COVID while causing cancer is therefore not a wise approach.

It turns out that 44 out of 260 hand sanitizers were found by Valisure to contain benzene, a known carcinogen.  It can enter the body via “skin absorption” and/or “inhalation.”  Up to 16.1 parts per million of this toxin were found in one product, which far exceeds the FDA’s “interim limit of 2 ppm.”
