Thank you @artemislives! I knew I never liked the stuff, and avoid it, as much as possible. I did not know this:
Effect of soap and water compared with alcohol gel sanitizer. As shown in Figure 5, a 20-s wash with the non-medicated liquid soap and water was more effective at removing bacteria from palms than application of a gel sanitizer containing 70% alcohol (study E). Interestingly, use of both products in sequence resulted in more bacteria being transferred versus soap and water alone. This suggests that use of alcohol on the hands after washing them may increase transfer of bacteria that are normally sequestered.
That part is insane...literally. Thank you for sharing such important information.
It IS insane, especially when we see the horrendous bacterial resistance developing in the world.
