Answer:In my own words it would burn like hell I did this with my nose when I was sick a while ago I hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

FDA is warning that getting alcohol-based hand sanitizer in the eyes can result in serious injury, including severe irritation and damage to the surface of the eye. Do not use alcohol-based hand sanitizers in or near your eyes. After applying alcohol-based hand sanitizer to your hands, avoid touching your eyes


If alcohol-based hand sanitizer does accidentally splash or get in your eyes, or those of a child, immediately and thoroughly rinse them under gently running water such as from a sink tap, water bottle, or emergency shower for at least 15 to 20 minutes


When hand sanitizer comes into contact with your eye, you will likely experience a burning sensation immediately. You may experience some other signs that you've got alcohol in your eyes either simultaneously or shortly after the reaction. These can include: Eye pain and irritation in the eye.



If f a chemical splashes into your eye, take these steps immediately. Flush your eye with water. Use clean, lukewarm tap water for at least 20 minutes.
