Kawasaki syndrome, surely. I always thought this was an urge to ride fast motorcycles, but appparently it's a cardiac condition.

Peter,
It was considered important enough for NHS Health Facilities
Scotland Incident Reporting & Investigation Centre (IRIC) to issue an
Information Message last week highlighting the incident concerned.
They also released a Safety Action Notice on the subject
back in 2006.

Front page cover photo of the "i" (what an awkward newspaper title) on Monday shows supermarket worker checking temperatures of customers (really?) with her cloth mask over mouth and chin, but not over her nose.
Sigh. Is it the 'must be seen to be doing something' syndrome?

Connor, continuing on the point that Roundtuit made. Aviation fluid - much more flammable and much more of it being moved, so static a problem to be dealt with, just like in distilleries. Hand sanitiser. Unless you empty the bottle, difficult to ignite with a match. There are LOTS of rather dubious Alerts out there and rumours have been spreading since the release of War of the Worlds and no doubt before. Just because someone in the NHS has spread the alert doesn't mean that it's an issue to put on a risk register. How many tonnes of sanitiser do NHS hospitals get through every year? How many fires? Of the fires, how many put down to possible ignition by static?
IFF there was a suffient problem to consider that advice was needed, WHO could have been expected to have updated its guidance which is over 10 years old. Why have you come home with a broken leg? No, I hadn't drunk 10 pints and fallen over. I was hit by an errant horse. Good story but the insurance company might ask some QQ.

It is an inflamatory condition that affects just about every blood vessel... it is one of the leading causes of heart disease in children but not a cardiac condition it causes it...

It’s Kawasaki Disease, not Kamikaze disease. This is a syndrome ie a collection of symptoms which may have a common cause. It is believed to be an autoimmune disease, but nobody know what actually triggers it. In most cases it causes inflammation of the tongue and other parts of the body. In some cases it can cause heart problems. It could be that some people are genetically predisposed to it. There is no Kawasaki virus. The syndrome only occurs in young children under 5 years old. Some children who have been admitted to hospital with this syndrome have tested positive for Covid 19, so they may react to infection with SARS-2 by showing these symptoms.
