NYC Poison Control Center Sees Jump In Lysol And bleach Cases After Trump’s Remarks

Just hours after Donald Trump claimed that injecting disinfectant in the body could cure COVID-19, the New York City Poison Control Center received 30 calls about exposure to bleach and other household cleaning products.

That number is a spike from last year. In fact, this is more than double the number of incidents at the same time last year.

According to New York Daily News reporter Anna Sanders, none of these incidents resulted in hospitalization or death.
