“It could have been very lethal for my child.”
Not just plain old lethal - very lethal
Stepping off the humo(u)r path for a moment:
I was once parked near some very tall/wide hedges while some teenagers were waiting for their bus. There weren't any other cars at the time. Two parking spots away, a boy walked straight up to and into the hedge. He emerged a short time later with a large bottle of hand sanitizer. He looked right at me and gave a smile and nod, and walked back to his companions to get drunk before going to school. It's not a controlled substance. I never sent another bottle of the stuff to school again.

Drinking hand sanitizer will lead to harder drugs, like sniffing sharpie markers. I happen to have one here. I just put it to my nose. Whoa...I see Timothy Leary, Dude.

In my day we just ate Elmer's glue, for gosh sakes!

Algebra has caused many kids to self-medicate in despair. Hand sanitizer is merely the latest coping mechanism.

In my day we sniffed fresh mimeographs that the teacher passed out. I still remember that smell.

nursecindy, at first glance I read that as the fumes being so strong that the teacher passed out.

When my dad was in the Navy, desperate sailors drank shaving lotion. "Have a shot of whiskey, sailor?" "No, thanks...I'm more of an Aqua Velva man."
