As we know corona have infected many people in this world and can result in death. In this situation people are rushing to buy face mask and hand sanitiser to prevent from corona virus. Both face mask and hand sanitiser always sold out in many groceries and markets. Maybe we still can get it in e-commerce, but with a higher price.
Because this virus, fraudsters use of this situation to commit crimes. Such as giving free fake mask and fake hand sanitiser, or sell it for very high prices. Its very dangerous to wear fake mask and using fake hand sanitiser, since you don't know which material & chemical has been used in them and also how hygienic from that's material.
"Fake sanitisers are more dangerous as these have side-effects on the human skin. People are using sanitisers to clean their hands when they cannot use soap and water. Also, a large amount of sanitisers are being used to sanitize public places. But if the sanitisers are fake or don't have the efficiency, it will be harmful. You never know which chemicals have been used in them," said Dr. Bobby Balotra, Pulmonologist at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.
Dr Sandeep Nayar, Director and Head, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Allergy and Sleep Disorders at BLK Super Specialty hospital, said it was
better to use soaps than fake sanitisers.
"People can wash their hands properly for 25 to 30 seconds with soap, which is equivalent to any alcohol-based sanitiser," he said.
Its hard to say which the fake and real hand sanitiser, but we should
be more careful about the non brand and licensed hand sanitiser. As Dr Sandeep Nayar said, we can use soap if we don't have hand sanitiser.
