Hand Sanitizer Dangers
I am sharing a near disaster, to help others not face the same. A friend gave me a liquid hand sanitizer. I put it aside, as I believe hand washing is better than any sort of chemical. Long story short, a bit of the hand sanitizer ended up in my beagle's tummy. He was abandoned here last hunt season. Unbeknownst to me a…
