Fire department warning: Hand sanitizer could explode in your car this summer
New York Post ^

Posted on 05/22/2020 4:45:22 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

The Western Lakes Fire District of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, shared an explosive photograph Thursday as a warning to all you motorists trying to be hyper-vigilant about the coronavirus this summer.

Leave your hand sanitizer in a hot car and your vehicle’s interior could end up a fire scene.

“By its nature, most hand sanitizer is alcohol-based and therefore flammable,” the fire officials wrote on Facebook May 21, alongside a photo of a driver-side door interior that had been mangled and melted by hand sanitizer.

After telling us the virus can survive for days to weeks on different surfaces for several months, the media has shifted the story to claiming most infection is via droplets and not from contaminated surfaces. Just in time to avoid exploding hand sanitizers in hot cars!

For pity sake.

It will leak maybe but burst into flame... not unless you have an electrical short. And probably not even then.

Get “Da Bomb” hand sanitizer.

It will not only kill cooties, it will blow your head clean off.

Well, shazaam! Who woulda guessed?

I have kept a bottle in both our cars for years. When it’s hot I leave the top on a little loose so it can safely expand.

But the media point is, no matter what you do regarding THE virus, you are doomed. You must not be allowed to cease being fearful.

To cease being fearful is to think for yourself. To think for yourself is to cease following the Democrats mindlessly.

Not this time. I’m pretty sure it’s due to Global Warming.

My wife is not a germophobe. She is/was a great common sense RN. For as long as I can remember, she kept the small hand sanitizers bottles in our car since our 50+ year kids were very young. We have lived in some hot areas of California like Sacramento, and we never had one melt or burst into flames.

Sounds like typical media B$ not to consider Trump’s “dangerous treatment” for Covid19.

Remember the Pinto’s and exploding gas tanks and “Unsafe at any Speed”!
