Please be aware that hand sanitizer is a last resort. Studies have shown washing with soap and water is more effective. When the stuff first came out, the visiting nurse would use it before she attended to my wife. Within six months, the directive came down to return to soap and water any time it was available. The way most people use it, the antibacterial agent does not stay on the skin long enough to be fully effective.
