Lately, I started using a hand sanitizer that has no alcohol and it has been really great. SkinWear, which I bought from a chiropractor I see in Northbrook IL swears by it. It doesnt dry out my skin like the alcohol ones do. The kids love the smell. I'm really happy with it.

And how many germs - in both directions - are spread in this manner ? In my experience - a lot - and it is especially bad if they are handling food . It spreads disease in the work place , down the market and in shops . It leads to lost work time and is costly - both in business and in personal terms .
