You've probably heard that hand sanitizer is basically unavailable. Fortunately, we have plenty on hand in the house. Of course, we also have soap and water, so we don't use that much sanitizer. From what I've heard, using soap and water is the preferred method of washing your hands. I'm sure we've all seen people leaving a rest room without washing their hands and also those who give their hands a quick rinse, rather than actually washing them.

Another important practice is keeping your hands away from your face. Of course, all these precautions assume that you have dangerous bacteria on your hands. Good luck staying healthy, everyone!

As for the shortage of hand sanitizer, make your own.

You've probably heard that hand sanitizer is basic... (show quote)


Since we are discussing restroom habits {and I did not start this conversation} - if you are touching a part of your body that can potentially transmit disease to another person you should wash your hands before touching that part of your body as your hands will have the potential to transmit disease to you and after touching that part of your body as your hands will have the potential to transmit disease to others.

Taking this to another body part - wash your hands before picking your teeth with your fingers and after picking your teeth! The first hand washing is for your health and the second hand washing is for others' health.

SoHill Guy,
Thank you for the source material you used in your post. If I read it correctly and in full there is no need for even more panic about the second strain or the L virus and I think the tone of your note does not reflect that. But I appreciate that you sent this material out and apologize a little.


Michael

The first report I had seen did emphasize the L as I first indicated. The news media often gets news as not being factual and reports it.

Funny - sort of. I bet just "washing" your hands with rubbing alcohol would kill most bacteria, but it would be rough on your hands.


The problem with the self-made formula or plain alcohol is that Alcohol takes approx. 10 minutes to be effective for bacterial and viral germs, so to speak.

Saw on I think, Fox Business Channel, from the floor of NYSE. The guy said in lieu of alcohol, use Vodka & Aloe. He said drink two double shots of Vodka, then mix the Vodka & aloe rub on your hands. That way you will be sterilized both inside and outside... LOL
