  • Fact Check: Do you risk burning your hands after applying sanitisers? A social media post is going viral with the claim that one can catch fire due to the sanitiser as it contains high amount of alcohol. India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that the viral post is a hoax. Listen to Story India Today Fact Check It is a hoax. Alcohol in hand sanitisers evaporate completely once applied on the hands Doctors and health experts have been advising people to apply hand sanitisers as a precaution against coronavirus infection. However, a social media post is going viral with the claim that one can catch fire due to the sanitiser as it contains high amount of alcohol. The viral Facebook post shows a pair of hands with the claim, "The lady here applied sanitizer on her arms and went to the kitchen to cook. The moment she turned on the stove, her hands caught fire due to the alcohol contained in the sanitizer." This post is also viral on WhatsApp. India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that the viral post is a hoax. The alcohol in the hand sanitiser evaporates completely once rubbed over the hands and leaves nothing to catch fire. We found that the viral photograph is of a burn victim whose forearm was harvested for skin grafts. One can see the sharp edges on her forearm which can never be the result of an actual burn. Skin grafting is a surgical procedure that involves removing the skin from one part of the body and transplanting it to another. Hence, it is clear that the viral image is not of a woman whose hands caught fire while she was putting on the stove after applying hand sanitiser. In fact, alcohol-based hand sanitisers do not catch fire as the alcohol evaporates completely once applied on the hands.
