The mis-guided focus on promoting alcohol-based sanitizers, as opposed to non-alcohol alternatives illustrates an alarming lack of common sense among supposedly educated people. Or it illustrates how major brands (e.g. Purell) can prove so influential in the course of lobbying government agencies to make sure their message is subliminal within federal proclamations.
At least one maker of non-alcohol hand sanitizer products has been credited with bringing the education and awareness of alternative products directly to the CDC. In September, after 15 years of making barely a mention of the dangers of alcohol, CDC acknowledged that schools (and others) have come to their own conclusions and determined that its really not such a good idea to rub alcohol into our skin, when there are other, safer ingredients that can kill germs, without killing skin cells and industrial floor wax--and without intoxicating our children.
There are a growing number of non-alcohol hand sanitizer brands..one that has that has taken the high road--in effort to educate people, is a product called Soapopular..(www.SoapyUSA.com)..(their website contains some solid information)...a good blog on the topic is www.handhygienefacts.blogspot.com
