Published 1 min ago on April 25, 2020By New Civil Rights Movement- Commentary
Although President Donald Trump said that he was only being sarcastic when he mused on April 23 that injecting household disinfectants could possibly cure coronavirus, poison control centers have since reported spikes in people ingesting bleach and other disinfectants.
Barely 18 hours after Trumps public statement, the New York City Poison Control Center received more than double its usual amount of calls including nine people who had Lysol exposure, 10 who had bleach exposure, and 11 who had exposure to other household cleaners. Exposure in this case means a dangerous contact that potentially threatens a persons health or well being.
