Ate food just after using hand sanitizer
I ate food with my hands just after 30-40 seconds after using hand sanitizer, the smell of sanitizer was still there in my hands, is there any risk? The sanitizer had 70% Isopropyl Alcohol in it. I read somewhere that it is harmful if consumed, by the way my hands were dry after using the sanitizer. And then i ate food with my hands. Please tell if there's any risk or is it ok.
Thanks
