A Maryland man learned the hard way that smoking and hand sanitizer don’t mix.
Fire officials say the man was using hand sanitizer while smoking a cigarette, which caused the sanitizer to ignite and set the entire car on fire.
He ended up being taken to a hospital with minor burns. Many types of hand sanitizer contain alcohol or other flammable substances and can be dangerous to use while smoking in a small, unventilated area such as a car.
The Fire Department is calling it ‘a bad combo in unventilated area’.
