The maker of Lysol and former head of the Food and Drug Administration warned Friday against consuming or injecting disinfectants after President Donald Trump asked whether injecting disinfectants into the body can be used to treat Covid-19.
Consuming disinfectants is very dangerous and can even be fatal, former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Friday.
Trump’s comments came after Homeland Security official Bill Bryan presented new findings that showed the ability of disinfectants to kill the coronavirus on surfaces. Bryan said bleach will kill the virus in five minutes when applied to surfaces and isopropyl alcohol kills the virus in 30 seconds.
“I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute. One minute,” Trump said Thursday evening at a White House press briefing. “Is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets inside the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”
Reckitt Benckiser, the United Kingdom-based manufacturer of Lysol and other household cleaning products, said in a statement that its products “should only be used as intended” and “under no circumstance” should the products be consumed by people.

FAKE NEWS FRIDAY!
CNBC is lying. President Trump said NOTHING about Lysol, let alone injecting Lysol.
This is 3rd grader BULLSTALIN
Yellow Journalism at its worst
He was joking.
Great, now we will get a three year investigation on whether he collided with Russia to have us all injest Lysol.
MSM is very stupid
Let me just point out that Fredo’s wife bathes in bleach. I presume he did , too.
Because of this reporting, liberals around the country will now kill themselves with Lysol, just to take one for the team.
I don’t know.
Last month we had those morons who drank fish tank cleaner.
Now wait and see if some idiot injects Lysol.
I wouldn’t be surprised.
…think Im kidding?
This is what Trump said:
“Is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets inside the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”
He didn’t say to injest lysol, he was MUSING about a drug that could clean the lungs. The reporters then re-interpreted it to mean that Trump is suggesting ingesting lysol itself.
All these press sessions are nothing more than you said, you said, you said, were you wrong when you said, was it a mistake to say...
Useless. These people serve no purpose whatsoever.
I’ve been following this and watching the video. It was a stupid thing to say and I didn’t get the vibe that he was joking. That being said, the media going nuts over it is silly.
Nearing the point of NOTHING SURPRISES ME and then these assclowns actually do surprise me. Even someone with a ‘gabby’ has got to believe this is BS.
RE: It was a stupid thing to say and I didn’t get the vibe that he was joking. That being said, the media going nuts over it is silly.
Actually you should re-listen to what Trump actually said.
This is what Trump said:
“Is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets inside the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”
He didn’t say to ingest lysol orally, he was MUSING about a drug that could clean the lungs in the same manner lysol cleans up tables and surfaces of the virus. The reporters then re-interpreted it to mean that Trump is suggesting ingesting lysol itself.
Trump is actually referring to inserting a catheter that has a UV-A light source into the breathing tube and turning on the light to kill bacteria and viruses. It’s something that Aytu Bioscience original developed for removing bacteria and viruses from blood arteries after heart surgery; Aytu is working with the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to adapt it for removing COVID-19 viruses from the breathing tube.
For those of you in Rio Linda...…..
Reporters are damn liars - odd that they are supposed to educate" people by reporting, instead they either create the false news narrative or they become the news. As far as being actual reporters, they aren't, they are effectively Leftwing corrupt lying activists.
What Trump said was “Is there some sort cleaner like that for humans”. That is what I thought he meant. Not injecting chemical disinfectants. Stupid media.
Yes. FAKE NEWS!
Trump did NOT ask about injecting Lysol.
The science guy from DHS presented his findings and Trump wondered aloud (in an admittedly clumsy way) whether they had any utility in treating patients.
The word “injected” was introduced into the conversation by a snarky reporter. No doubt on purpose.
You worded it pretty good.
