Making hand sanitizer or washing hands–or both

During Covid times, we have experienced difficulty in purchasing store bought hand sanitizer.  Recipes have become available on line suggesting we can make it at home using equal parts of aloe vera gel and 60% isopropyl alcohol.  If you are going to make it at home experts highly recommend 60% isopropyl alcohol.

Experts recommend washing hands for at least 30 seconds, while singing happy birthday to you.  The idea here is to wash hands, top and bottom and between finders and under finger nails with a nail brush, thoroughly. The soap helps slide off the dirt and germs, with a finish of water.

Please stay safe and healthy.  Follow the advise of the experts.  Social distancing may feel like isolation but these times can be opportunities to discover new interests.
