Did you know....
Hand sanitizers with less than 66% alcohol content are ineffective at killing bacteria.
Water is twice as effective as hand sanitizer at removing viruses from skin.
Hand sanitizers will not kill bacteria that is mixed with oil, dirt, grease, or other foreign matter. Skin produces such oils.
Hand sanitizer is not a replacement for regular soap and water.
Hand sanitizer can contribute to a weakened immune system.
So when someone tells you "just a little squirt won't hurt," smack them.
Some bacteria are good. And even bad bacteria give your immune system exercise. Your immune system is kinda like a combine harvester --- it goes after bacteria with a vengeance. If you take all the bacteria away... your immune system will find something else to attack. Maybe YOU!
