Myth Buster Monday Myth or Reality: Using a #handsantizer is as effective as #handwashing with #soap 🧼 and 💦 FALSE — see the diagram above for a comparison (photos of hands courtesy of Paul Barcena). Hand sanitizers do not remove bacteria but will temporarily neutralize the #bacteria. Soap Is more effective against the 40% phospholipid membrane and 60% protein of bacteria. Most #researchers feel that soap is the most effective weapon we have against viruses on our hands. Studies have found that most hand sanitizers are not effective against #viruses since 🦠 are uniquely encapsulated. The #alcohol concentration of the hand sanitizer is important. The @cdcgov recommends a hand sanitizer with a minimum of 60% alcohol content to use ONLY when you do NOT have access to soap and water. #mythbuster, #facts, #factvsmyth, #factvsmyth, #healthfacts, #healthfactoftheday, #skincare, #skincaretips, #skincareroutine, #boardcertified, #dermatologist, #expert, #chilukuri, #houstonbotox, #houstonfiller, #houstoninjector, #mondaymotivation, #mondayvibes
