Honestly, do you really think the damn hand sanitzer makes a difference?

[Anonymous]

After spending a few agonizing hours with my control freak, and major germaphobe sister in-law and her sanitized, ultra scrubbed, porcelain doll children. I wonder if all that alcohol based hand sanitizer she squirts all over her kids and her 45 year old husband really prevents any diseases at home. They are always sick, I mean way more than my kids. I never use hand sanitizer. I hate the smell, and a soap and water are usually available. I don't like anything you don't rinse off. That seems unsanitary to me. There have been times when I have use sanitizer, like at a petting zoo, or at a farmer's market or such. My sister in law lines up her kids and ultra-emasculated husband and squirts the shit on their hands like they are in school! But like I said, who is always sick?

I read that using too many anti-bacterial products isn't good because it doesn't allow your immune system to build up against germs. Maybe that's why they are always sick.

Are you talking about your brother or your husband's brother? It's kind of rude of you.

Meh, Purell is alcohol so it just paralyzes the bugs for a while. Now if she's scrubbing them down with the hospital strength stuff then it's serious.

IT KILLS, IT DOES NOT PARALYZE. Stop posting that bs.


Stop posting this, it is not true. Purell couldn't advertise that they kill 99.99% of germs if it weren't true. That is false advertising.

Read this - http://www.slate.com/id/2245896/ The reason Purell is a farce is because most flu and cold germs travel through the air, not spread through touching or hand contact.

But we need to be realistic about what Purell can do to fight flu in the home and in public. To begin, the influenza virus mostly spreads via tiny droplets in the air (for example, from sneezes)—not by dirty hands or surfaces—which limits the role of Purell. It probably wouldn't matter even if flu transferred though hand contact, which is how most cold viruses spread. Though Purell kills them in the lab, hand sanitizers don't stop their spread in the real world. The average child touches his or her mouth and nose every three minutes, and both adults and children come in contact with as many as 30 different objects every minute. Even hospitals can't get staff to use Purell before seeing patients; it's impossible for day care staff, parents, or teachers to wash a child's hands 20 times each hour.

No, it stuns them. Then later, the bugs wake up all "whuh wha happened? Where am I? And why do I have a tattoo of an amoeba on my capsid? " Then after stumbling a while, one of the other viruses come over and says "whoa dude, you don't look good." "STOP SHOUTING!!!" "'Kay, bro. You're totally hung over, man. The only way through this is if you suck it up and get your ass into a host cell and start replicating". And that's how you get infected by a virus stunned by hand sanitizer.

Are you a scientist, because you have no idea what you are talking about. Do you know those alcohol swabs they rub on you before they take blood or are given a vaccine via needle? Alcohol, and they are KILLING germs. Same premise with Purell. Purell could not advertise that the germs are KILLED if it were not true. The FDA and government would be all over them. Do some google research and please link to where tests show Purell "paralyzes" germs because it just doesn't exist.

NP here. The PP was JOKING. But maybe you are too, and just being more subtle, in the pretend to be completely obtuse variety.

Can no longer tell my serious DCUM posters from the over the top ironic variety. Clearly time to go to bed.
