Hand Sanitizer

A couple of days ago, I went in to the other room where my boys were playing, to find that they had gotten into a travel size bottle of hand sanitizer. By the time I saw them, the 2 oz bottle was completely empty. I found a tiny puddle on the floor, but I could not find the rest. I'm convinced that between the two of them they ate the remaining amount. I immediately panicked and wondered if I should rush them to the doctors office or wait to see if anything seems wrong . I decided to wait, not letting them leave my side, until I knew that they were alright. All I kept thinking about, however, was that e-mail that was circulating recently about a kid who licked his hand (which had sanitizer on it) and had to have his stomach pumped! Luckily, everything turned out okay.
It sure is scary being a parent!
