Your friend visited a dermatologist and had a full body microdermabrasion treatment. As soon as he got home he applied hand sani
tizer (label of ingredients below), then immediately began applying paint thinner to the wood cabinets of his bathroom. A few hours later, he had irregular heart rhythms, showed signs of kidney damage, and exhibited neurological impairment which are all signs of paint thinner poisoning. Which of the following is a correct explanation of how his activities may have contributed to his paint thinner poising symptoms?Active Ingredients: ethyl alcoholInactive ingredients: Aloe Vera, fragrance, polomaxer 338, silicone, Polyether copolymer, tocopheryl acetate, waterA: Microdermabrasion removed portions of the stratum corneum making it easier for substances to enter the blood stream.B: Paint thinner is an organic solvent and, therefore, cannot normally enter the skin, but the presence of Tocopheryla acetate in the hand sanitizer acted as a carrier molecule for the solventC: Paint thinner poising could only be explained if the patient had a cut and did not wear gloves when applying the paint thinnerD: The hand sanitizer lead to the degradation of the keratohyaline granulates which are responsible for making the skin less susceptible to lipid-based substances.
