I don't. I depend too much on my stomach's acid for protection against evil things like curd and neem.

Hand sanitizer every time one shake hands? Along with it, he will have to consume pills for obsessive compulsive disorder.

If u work in corporate sector or it sectors u ll have hand sanitizers everywhere. I have seen people go out of the wash rooms without washing their hands yuck.

They have hand sanitizers in ICUs and even doctors dont use them!

Maybe because their hands would get more infected by touching the cock (tap) than touching their own cocks(the ones producing 3 litres).

Even if they wash their hands, they'd get reinfected as soon as they touch their handsets, which are probably the dirtiest things around.

I cant stand the idea of not washing hand after the stuff in wash room.

Imagine this once:

Case1: 6 months after a minor surgery one woman was diagnosed with surgical gloves & cotton inside her stomach which was a cause of intense pain for her.
Case2: Liver surgery was done on a woman who came for sterilization and vice versa on another woman who were sharing beds in a hospital room.
Case3: An young man woke up in a Govt. Hospital who came to know that he was sterilized permanently and guess where he was night before? In a pub...

All the above cases I read in news papers recently and that too happened in good cities. Now assume what is the condition prevailing in Rural & Semi-Urban areas.

I'll be happy with dandruff anytime than going through either of the above. I'd even roam around with curd and neem leaves on my head than going through above experiences.

Regarding hand sanitizers, please note that excessive use may cause other problems including but not limited to dryness, allergy, microbial resistance. I would rather advise using a mild toilet soap.

Are you planning to try homemade remedies too along with this shampoo?

(Curd would be cheaper if made daily at home - and neem is free - certainly cheaper than Rs 187)

I have seen a general physician using often after seeing and touching patients. He even use face masks. BTW hand sanitizer are not replacement for hand wash with soaps.

Ideal person to work in an ICU setup. What is he doing in general practice!!

Soap is perfect. The only advantage of hand sanitizer is it doesn't need water and hands dry faster.
