Crowds, Compromised Hygiene Increase Your Risks

"Any environment in which people are crowded together with compromised hygiene carries a heightened risk." That opinion, offered by Dr. Dean Blumberg, appeared today in a U.S. News & World Report article, Swine Flu Loves a Crowd.

Blumberg, an associate professor of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of California-Davis Children's Hospital, went on to describe that type of environment as follows: "It's when people don't have access to hand washing or shower facilities."

Ever find yourself in a heightened-risk environment without access to hand washing or shower facilities? Below are five reasons why you should take steps to lower your risk with Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer from CLEANpHIRST™:

1. Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer is an extremely-safe, effective, non-irritating, non-flammable and non-staining alternative to alcohol-based hand sanitizer that kills well beyond the level of the leading alcohol-based hand sanitizers on the market (i.e., 99.999 percent kill rate against Staphylococcus aureus).

2. Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer is the only hand sanitizer proven effective against both strains of Norovirus.

3. The active ingredient in Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer, benzalkonium chloride (BZK), has been proven effective against H1N1 (a.k.a.,”Swine Flu”) in one scientific study. Unlike other hand sanitizer products containing BZK, Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer maximizes its effectiveness via the use of a unique patent-pending surfactant package that allows the active ingredient to penetrate cell walls at a higher rate. Best of all, it does so without alcohol, an ingredient that dries out the skin and can damage the skin with repeated use.

4. Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer provides up to 30 minutes of protection on the skin, and that compares to alcohol, the active ingredient in the 21-year-old technology of the leading products, which evaporates from the skin within 10 seconds of application.

5. Unlike the leading alcohol-based products, Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer has not had tight new restrictions placed on it by state fire marshals and, in turn, at places like the University of Michigan.
