Lysol sprays can help to sanitise many surfaces and assist in this fight against coronavirus, but it really shouldn’t be used on your body.

You

would think this would be common knowledge, but based on the recent #lysolchallenge,

it is obvious that people need a reminder. And we’re talking about people like Shaquille

O’Neal, who participated in the challenge recently by spraying his body with

the product.

Interesting… Shaquille O’Neal sprays himself with Lysol[/naviga:li][/naviga:ul]

Don’t get us wrong, Lysol has several benefits. It kills 99.9 per cent of fungi, viruses, and bacteria; kills cold and flu viruses, disinfects hundreds of surfaces in your home; sanitizes soft surfaces; prevents mould and mildew from growing for up to a week; and eliminates odours at the source.

But

Lysol can be dangerous to your health if used incorrectly.

Here

are some dangers of Lysol:

[naviga:li]Exposure to skin might result in severe redness and burning.[/naviga:li]

[naviga:li]Prolonged inhalation of the spray in a closed environment can lead to cough, headache, drowsiness and fatigue.[/naviga:li]

[naviga:li]Lysol is highly flammable.[/naviga:li]

[naviga:li]Direct contact with eyes can cause irritation.[/naviga:li]

[naviga:li]High concentrations of Lysol can also cause lung irritation.[/naviga:li]

And those are just some of the dangers.

Lysol sprays can work wonders, but only if used

correctly. So, read the instructions on the container and be careful while

using it.
