Use too much of that gel and no amount of super hand lotion will get the dry out, LOL!

I carry antimicrobial gel in my bag, van…anywhere–to church, to hiking…I refused to claim I overuse the thing, just when we expect to use our hands to put food or the holy bread in our mouth and water’s not available for handwashing. My son got sick twice this year, and my daughter remained healthy. I think we’re OK. As far as overdoing the use, I agree some use it too much and make oneself sensitive when the bug actually sneaks it–talk about not building resistance to common bugs.

i’m tired of washing, but i love those foamy hand sanitizers on the hospital walls.
