After President Trump suggested that people who injected antiseptics could cure COVID-19, Lysol, the Washington State Emergency Management Division, and the Environmental Protection Agency all came to control damage.
During a White House press briefing last night, a Homeland Security official said it was studying whether household detergents such as bleach and alcohol disinfection could kill the corona virus on inanimate surfaces.
Trump jumped again and went too far.
“Then I saw a disinfectant come out in 1 minute in 1 minute. And there are ways to spray it either internally or almost through cleaning. It would be interesting to check because it has entered the lungs and shows a huge number in the lungs. So you have to use your doctor with your doctor, but it sounds interesting, ”said Trump.
Disinfectants are very effective at killing microorganisms on the surface outside the body. But obviously, they are harsh chemicals. When injected or ingested, you are much more likely to poison or kill you than poison or kill a virus. Toxic calls around detergents and disinfectants are already much higher than normal, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say they are involved in corona virus-related cleaning efforts.
Lysol's manufacturer issued a statement this morning that the product should not be used inside the human body. “We need to make sure that disinfectant products should not be given to the human body by injection, ingestion or other routes,” they said. The Environmental Protection Agency warned last night that they should not take disinfectants, but the Washington State Emergency Management Department tweeted that people shouldn't be injected.
Do not eat assistant pods or inject disinfectants of any kind.

The New York State Department of Health is also warning Like the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, on Twitter, about cleaning products,

In a statement today, the White House reporter secretary said Trump's statement was out of context. President Trump repeatedly said Americans should talk to their doctors about coronavirus treatment. Read the statement.
In the same briefing, Trump also suggested using sunlight to cure the virus. "Do you think you have brought light to your body by skin or any other way?" He said. This was not a safety issue for the public health community, as UV ammunition remained completely fictional and UV blood radiation was most prevalent in the 1940s and 1950s. Conversely, the toxicity of cleaning products is currently dangerous.
People all over the country and around the world take Trump's words seriously and sometimes have fatal consequences. A man died in Arizona after ingesting a product used to clean fish tanks, which has the same ingredients as Trump, an anti-malaria agent, and was promoted for several weeks as a COVID-19 treatment during the briefing. His wife, who took the medicine and was hospitalized, assumed that the fish product was like medicine.
“Trump kept saying it was basically a cure,” she told NBC News.
However, one group was pleased that Trump was advocating the internal use of disinfectants. People who use Miracle Mineral Solution, a highly toxic bleach, as a remedy.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned that this solution is toxic and dangerous in a 2019 statement. "Sodium chloride products are dangerous and should not be used by you and your family."
