If you believe alcohol-based hand sanitizer is your only viable option when it comes to trying to prevent yourself and your loved ones from contracting potentially-deadly viruses, you might want to listen to a group of doctors and reconsider your options.
During a program that aired March 9 on the nationally-syndicated television show, “The Doctors”, the show’s four physician-hosts — Dr. Jim Sears, Dr. Travis Stork, Dr. Lisa Masterson and Dr. Drew Ordon — explained some of the dangers associated with alcohol-based hand sanitizer. After discussing the dangers drugs pose to teens, the segment about hand sanitizer-related dangers begins at the 1:30 mark.
Among the doctors’ warnings contained in the video are the following:
12,000 kids in 2006 were poisoned by ingesting hand sanitize
Some teenagers are using hand sanitizer to get “high”
60 percent alcohol is equal to 120-proof alcohol (alcohol-based hand sanitizers must contain at least
62 percent alcohol to be deemed “effective”)
Two ounces of alcohol-based hand sanitizer is equivalent to four shots of vodka.
Fortunately, Aloe Up® Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer is available today as a safe, effective, non-toxic and alcohol-free alternative.
Available from CLEANpHIRST™, Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer kills well beyond the level of the leading alcohol-based hand sanitizers products on the market (i.e., 99.999 percent kill rate against Staphylococcus aureus), and is three times more effective than the leading brands against Norovirus. In fact, it’s the only formula proven effective against both strains of Norovirus.
It achieves such high levels of effectiveness through the use of a key ingredient, benzalkonium chloride (BZK), that was proven effective against H1N1 (a.k.a.,”Swine Flu”), according to a study conducted in Japan two years ago. Unlike other hand sanitizer products which contain BZK, Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer maximizes its effectiveness via the use of a unique surfactant package that allows that ingredient to penetrate cell walls at a higher rate. And, again, it does it without alcohol, an ingredient that dries out the skin and can damage the skin with repeated use.
