Well I meant the other way around. Having sweaty hands and offering them.

If you have them and are being offered a handshake I have no idea what you can do. Maybe say " better not, I have a really bad cold"?

I just go with it. But have shaken some hands where I did have to wash afterward. I'm talkin' about people scratching their rashes and have wet stickiness that just isn't right.

Hand sanitizers give you a false sense of security and are rarely used correctly.

If used "correctly," do they actually work? Or is it just a false sense of security whether used correctly or not. Thanks for the confusing statement!

Hi. Come over to my place.
Let me make you a nice sandwich with some baloney I have left over from my picnic last week.

Did you know that I have an aunt that is Obsessive-Compulsive? Poor thing.

Not scientific: I imagine eventually, overuse would cause extreme drying of the skin. This would remove the protective barrier of oils your skin produces to help keep you infection free.

Kind of defeats the point of the sanitizer in the first place?

So all those "Employees must wash hands" signs are doing me a great disservice? I woulda never known without you, ATS.

O.C.D., How can I explain it?
I can’t, it’s the friggin’ insanest
But I’ll try, cause I ain’t the lamest
O is for Obsessive, C is Compulsive
The D? That just makes you repulsive
Well, it’s sorta like an issue the way you can’t
Eat yo’ food, or shake without a disinfectant
Cause the MRSA and the Zika you anit’ gonna get it
Gonna end up with hand warts? You bet it!
You down with O.C.D.? (Yeah you know me)
You down with O.C.D.? (Yeah you know me)
You down with O.C.D.? (Yeah you know me)
Who's down with O.C.D.? (Every last crazy)

I love it when people bring up Frank Sinatra lyrics.

The man was a lyrical poet.

So I'm going to be ostracized as some highfalutin hand-washer while you all applaud the dude who I literally saw take a dump and then run his hands through his hair?

Oh it's good to be back on ATS

If you're watching people taking a dump I think hand washing may be the least of your concerns.

You're confused; I'm not. Hand sanitizers with less than 60% alcohol are useless. They don't work. Even alcohol-based sanitizers do not remove all germs. They don't remove chemicals, pesticides, or heavy metals. And there's some evidence that the stuff is toxic. And some more here. It's a consumer product. You are being marketed to. And they love you for it.

You might want to check out OCD. One of the characteristics is exaggeration, which you have been doing here. Someone mentions the five second rule and you wonder of it applies when dropping a donut in a cesspool. Someone mentions dropping a pacifier and you suggest they'll all get MRSA. These are EXTREME reactions to relatively benign instances. It's like saying you should stay indoors in Oregon because they found a Zika mosquito in Florida.

My cats are allowed on the kitchen counters, and yet. THEY MAY HAVE JUST BEEN IN THE LITTER BOX!

Quick, call an ambulance.

Yeah, because I'm sure he went into the stall and made grunting noises for some other reason.

I say wash your hands.

I don't think the world will end if you do, I don't think the world will end if you don't.

I've been to places where hand washing was the least of our concerns, we all survived.

Except Kenny.

Kenny died.

You ever had a girl and met her on a nice hello
You get her name and number and then you feelin' real low
You get home, wait a day, these symptoms are what you wanna know about
Then you call up google and try to figure out
It's not a wart, W to the A to the R to the T
It's just she didn't quite smell clean
It's OCD ... GERMS...from other people's how you get it
There's no room for a relationship when Purel lube is how you hit it
How many OCD's out there know just what I'm gettin' at
Who thinks it's wrong 'cos I'm washin' and rewashin' that
Well if you do, this is OCD and you're not down with it
But if you don't, here's your membership.
