I don't use hand sanitizer, I DO use soap and hot water, but I'm curious what the reasoning is to not let the kids use the hand sanitizer?

Reasoning:
Not enough germs can prevent a strong immune system
It gets them out of the habit of washing their hands thoroughly
They have delicate skin, and the alcohol in the sanitizer can dry it out, causing cracks, giving the MRSA a way in (a problem if MRSA is already in the house).
Little kids have a tendancy to EAT sanitizer, no matter how vigilant mom is.

Yeah, my kids are the ones who (knock on wood) are rarely sick, which I credit to the fact that I basically let them eat dirt... they are boys, on a farm, what can I say?

I still se sanitizer on the kids when it is the only option...like when my dad was in the hospital. We washed our hands before we went there, but always sanitized during and immediately after visiting him. Because Dad was incontinent, (as were the other patients) it was exceedingly difficult to trust the bathrooms. So...soap and water was not enough.

And this would be why I almost NEVER use the stuff. I used to share my ice cream cone with my horse, and eat with my hands when they were dirty (rode said horse to McDonalds and ate a cheeseburger without washing first )

I would like to say I am often referred to by my Dr's that I am the most boringly normal healthy person they know.
