I've become a big fan of the alcohol based hand sanitizers...I like how they feel.Originally Posted by surgtech1956
Are these really better/safer than the antibacterial soaps?

OMG this is so scary. I work in a hospital and this past spring had a bad UTI and went to the doctor. She told me that she seeing more and more hospital workers with MRSA. I believe it, we wash our hands so many times with antibacterial soaps, betadine, hibicleanse, etc.. Here in Michigan, alot of schools and universities have reported cases and had to close the schools down to thoroughly clean everything.

I was told to spray alcohol on a lot of stuff around my house and to let it dry not to wipe it off. So yes i would think they are better. The antibacterial soaps do not work on this infection. We are using something called hibaclens. We have to use it from head to toe every single day for a month. I have a bottle by all the sinks and that is what we are also washing our hands with.No other soap works to get rid of this staph. (Sigh) Originally Posted by Mr. Silver

My dh is doing better. Might even try wearing he's helmit tomorrow. But word of caution on the soap they have us using right now. The company that makes it says we can not use it on our head. There is something in it that can cause sever eye damage! I called today just to ask if using shampoo after I put it on my head was ok. The lady was very taken back by the fact that I was putting it on my face and scalp. I don't know what to do hmmm? Blindeness or chance or reinfection? I will take the latter!

Maybe your DH should get a new helmet, with clean straps?
Just a thought...

Not sure alcohol will kill bacteria. How about Lysol?
