Canadians are accidentally poisoning themselves as they isolate and stockpile cleaning products to prevent being infected with coronavirus, according to reports.

Health Canada said February and March showed a 58 per cent increase in reported exposure to cleaning chemicals and disinfectants from the same period in 2019.

The federal health agency has put the rise down to people isolating at home and stockpiling cleaning products. Calls to poison control centres in relation to hand santisers, disinfectants and bleach leaped by 103 per cent in March compared to last year, reports CTV News.

Complaints reportedly include burning eyes and breathing problems after extensive cleaning, as well as children drinking hand sanitizer.
