Reply To: JCCC: Happy Birthday To Me…. Hand Sanitizers, Flu Shots, etc.
Washing hands is essential! It’s the only thing that will get dirt off them, and it will reduce the bacteria count somewhat. It’ll also get rid of nasties like ascaris eggs if you scrub well. But research has shown that soap does not remove all pathogens. Before eating, I wash up and then use a shpritz of sanitizer.
