KANSAS CITY, Mo. The number of cases of people ingesting a chemical solution has increased, Kansas Department of Health and Environment Secretary Dr. Lee Norman said Monday.<\/p>\n
Norman said he received the information from Dr. Stephen Thornton, a toxicologist and emergency medicine specialist at the University of Kansas Medical Center.<\/p>\n
Thornton told Norman hed seen an increase of more than 40% in cleaning chemical cases.<\/p>\n
That included a man over the weekend who drank a product because of the advice that he received, Norman said.<\/p>\n
Norman said the department is doing what we can to counter-message against that kind of remedy.<\/p>\n
Norman did not specifically mention any ties between the increase and President Donald Trump's inquiry if disinfectant could be injected into the lungs to kill COVID-19 inside the body.<\/p>\n
The following day, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a reminder to United States citizens not to consume disinfectants. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
