  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/TmkLo6M6XTM   Calls to poison control centers have more than doubled during the CoVid pandemic, and the CDC now reports that 39% of more than 500 surveyed adults are engaging in dangerous and potentially lethal practices such as washing food with bleach, applying household cleanser and disinfectants to bare skin, or intentionally inhaling or ingesting disinfectants.   The good news is that 60% are taking additional care to clean and disinfect their homes, the bad news is that 25% experienced at least one adverse effect from their efforts including nasal and sinus irritations, eye pain, skin irritation, dizziness, nausea, and breathing problems.   Keep your world clean, but don’t poison yourself. Do mask, distance, and wash.   https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6923e2.htm   #covid #disinfection #poisoning
