An 11 year old is a cancer survivor and was in the hospital because she had fallen and hit her head at school. While waiting to be released her clothes caught on fire. 80% of her body is burnt from 3rd degree burns. They think from static electricity from hand sanitizer caused all this. Hand sanitizer is an alcohol base and under the right Constance it can be flammable.  She said "God never gives you anything you can't handle." Her dad replied that "she would be the strongest person I've every herd of."
