One thirsty man in need of a drink went to extreme lengths to quench his thirst.

A video shared on Instagram by @younglildelty shows him taking a sip of hand sanitiser. He is seen opening the bottle filled with the blue disinfectant liquid and taking a drink to which he squirms at the imaginably bitter taste.

According to the Texas Medical Centre, people with substance abuse issues have deliberately ingested hand sanitiser for its high alcohol content.

“Ingesting any hand sanitiser made with either ethanol or methanol can cause symptoms that appear very similar to general alcohol poisoning, including nausea, vomiting, headache, abdominal pain, decreased coordination, and blurry vision.

Methanol’s high toxicity can lead to a chemical imbalance in the blood (called metabolic acidosis) as well as seisures, blindness, and death,” the medical page reported.

In true Mzansi fashion, many Saffas responded to the post with banter, while a selected few expressed concern for the man’s well-being.

Mzansi thrilled by schoolkids' video dancing with sanitiser

In a separate story, Briefly News reported that a group of school pupils is becoming an internet sensation as they dance to their favourite tune in class while going around sanitising their hands. The schoolkids (from an unnamed school) took their video to the popular social networking platform TikTok.

The short video clip was shared by @OarabileMolete and the clip is going viral among South Africans. According to comments, it seems the kids are enrolled at one of the top high schools in the Free State, Navalsig in the city of Bloemfontein.

In the video, the kids are seen dancing to an Amapiano song, Mmapula by Busta 929, and they are very entertaining.
