Don't worry, I strongly stress handwashing to my children as well. But, it did blow me away when M informed me he did not make himself sick and research bore that reality out. You can't make yourself sick by not washing your hands and getting feces on it.
You can make everyone around you sick though. And, since M has a history of C.dif and has confirmed smal bowel bacterial overgrowth, we're super careful when we have to clean up after him! |

H/S is a new thing, but the thread took a bit of a shift when it got to not washing hands at all. Soap and water is a pretty old thing. A good, old thing.

![]() My guess (read: completely just coming up with something here with no links, data, or other research to back it up): cheap (as to why it is in the hand sanitizers) and lack of knowledge/availability of ethanol (why people use it for wound care). |

I have read through this thread and not seen what I end up doing in lieu of being able to use soap and water:
We all "Wash" our hands with a baby wipe which are kept in my purse. Then at the car a water bottle is poured over the hands of each person. No overdone antibacterials, but still cleansing. Oh - and my friend's solution is thieves' oil

What an informative thread! I have a question for those in the know, how is hydrogen peroxide at sanitizing? Curious if it would be a reasonable alternative in a pinch?
TIA
