The flu is goin' around--read

Hand sanitizer kills off a large quantity of bacteria, the ones that are left then have no competition for resources and your typical bacterial generation is 20 minutes or so. If you use the Hand Sanitizer you are making the resistant bacteria more likely to reproduce. Hence all you are doing is growing strong bacteria.

Welcome to how MRSA and other resistant diseases came about. They wouldn't be out like they are now if we didn't get so picky about how clean we make everything. We just keep giving them more and more room to reproduce in.

ive heard this many times before. i think it was also on tv too

Easier said then done. I work at a jail. So if the flu is going around, i'm going to catch it.

i bet they are worried about alot more important things than getting the flu.

As someone who works with kids, I feel your pain...

atleast kids you can talk them into it. now talking the older crowd into it would surely be much more of a challenge
