How to Use Hand Sanitizer: Why You Shouldn’t be Using It (And When You Should)?
The invention and popularization of hand sanitizer is a great thing in modern culture. We all enjoy being able to carry around with us a little bottle with a magic chemical that replaces soap and water. Hand sanitizer can be very useful in situations where soap and water are inaccessible, and can definitely help you to be more healthful in those situations. Whether you’re a mom on the go, a frequent outdoorsman, a mysophobe, or just a normal person, you have probably benefitted at least once in your life from the use of hand sanitizer. Is hand sanitizer really as great as we think it is? The claims on the bottles of most hand sanitizer companies are soundly backed up by science. Any hand sanitizer that is made up of at least 65% alcohol will kill 99.9% of bacteria within 30 seconds, and after 1 minute will kill between 99.99% and 99.999%. Hand sanitizer kills germs. It does not, however, clean your hands – it just sanitizes them. That is to say, it does not actually remove dirt. The Mayo Clinic [http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hand-washing/HQ00407/NSECTIONGROUP=2] says that, while hand sanitizer is a perfectly acceptable alternative to soap and water, it should not be used when hands are visibly dirty. The real problem is that hand sanitizer is used most when soap and water are unavailable – like on a camping trip – when hands are very likely to be dirty. Keeping this all in mind, let’s look at how to properly use hand sanitizer. 1)Hand sanitizer is acceptable to use in many cases, as long as your hands are visibly clean, and the hand sanitizer is at least 65% alcohol. 2)To use hand sanitizer, pour out enough to thoroughly cover your hands and rub it in thoroughly for at least 25 seconds. 3)Remember that it can take up to a minute for hand sanitizer to be completely effective – so don’t just wet your hands and eat something! Also make sure that you have thoroughly rubbed it in so that you don’t accidently ingest the alcohol from the sanitizer.

Is hand sanitizer as effective as handwashing?
The concern over all types of infectious diseases had spurred much interest in hand sanitizers. The H1N1 flu epidemic had a major effect on attitudes toward hand hygiene. As a result, hand sanitizers are given away at health fairs and are also seen in large containers for public use. Walk into a restaurant and you will observe hand sanitizer. Before going into a hospital room you might notice hand sanitizer just outside of the door. People now carry hand sanitizer in their automobiles, gym bags and purses. As a result the hand sanitizer industry is a booming business. The question is, are hand sanitizers as effective as soap and water in killing infectious pathogens? Hand washing is the most effective way to prevent the spread of infectious disease. When soap and water are available hand washing should be the choice for cleaning and removing pathogens from the hands. The friction of rubbing the hands helps loosen dirt and germs and using running water to rinse the hands removes germs from them. However when soap and water are not options, hand sanitizer can reduce pathogens to a safe level that will prevent the spread of infection. Alcohol based sanitizers have been found very effective in killing germs on the hands. Hand sanitizing gels should be at least 60 percent alcohol to be effective. The Centers for Disease Control recommend placing the hand sanitizer in one palm and rubbing it over all surfaces of the hands until it is dry. Anytime the hands are contaminated hand washing or using a hand sanitizer is necessarily. Hands can become contaminated after touching raw meat, using the restroom, and after touching pets, livestock or other animals. Additionally hands should always be washed after sneezing, coughing or blowing one’s nose. Child care providers should also practice good hand hygiene; and make sure that soap and water or hand sanitizer is available for children to keep their hands clean whether in the classroom or on the playground. The bottom line is, whether soap and water or hand sanitizer is used, it is refreshing to see individuals taking responsibility for preventing the spread of infectious diseases.
