The British consumer goods group Reckitt Benckiser has warned against the ingestion of disinfectants for the treatment of a Coronavirus.
“Under no circumstances” should a disinfectant be used in the human body is administered, either by ingestion or injection, nor in any other way, said the company, whose brands Sagrotan, on Friday.
Speculations disinfectant
The note was released after Statements by US President Donald Trump, who had encouraged the Thursday evening (local time) at a press conference in the White house, researchers, among others, to examine ways to inject people directly disinfectant.
A government expert had previously stated that Bleach and disinfectants killed the pathogen of Sars-CoV-2, for example, on dry metal surfaces such as a doorknob quickly.
Trump took to it and said: “Is there a way we could do something by spraying or almost would be interesting to examine the clean ;”
This is, of course, leave it to Doctors to added Trump. “But it sounds interesting for me.”
Serious Health Risk
Reckitt Benckiser drew no connection between the note and Trumps Statements.
The company said, due to speculation and “social media activities”, there have been requests for the internal administration of disinfectants.
The civil protection authority in the U.S. state of Washington issued a warning against the ingestion of disinfectants or cleaning agents.
“Make a bad Situation worse,” said the authority on Thursday evening on Twitter.
