Purell
Hand Sanitizer
Hand
washing and the use of Alcohol based anti-bacterial lotions like Purell instant
hand sanitizer is recommended by major health organizations including the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to minimize the spread of germs
during illness outbreaks, such as the Swine Flu and other types of influenza.
How Does Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer Work?
PURELL® Instant Hand Sanitizer offers a unique set of ingredients, including a
65% alcohol content with a special blend of anti-bacterial moisturizers to kill
germs on hands and leave them feeling soft and refreshed. The alcohol included
in Purell's ingredients breaks down the germs' cell walls causing them to die.
When Purell is applied to hands, it evaporates within seconds mostly due to the
alcohol content. Alcohol applied to the skin are among the safest known
antiseptics ( According to the Association for Professionals in Infection
Control and Epidemiology (APIC) Guidelines for Infection Control Practice).
Can Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer Protect People From The Swine Flu?
There are no hand
sanitizers on the market that are specifically indicated to prevent Swine Flu.
One of the ways you can help protect yourself from getting the Swine Flu is by
practicing good hand hygiene (according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention). The CDC recommends keeping your hands clean by washing with soap
and water, or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water may not
be available, such as when you're on the go. We feel it is best to wash your
hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, dry your hands thoroughly,
then apply Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer.
How Do Contagious Diseases Spread?
Hands
are one of the most common routes to transfer many types of contagious diseases
as hands come into direct contact with known portals of entry for pathogens,
like your mouth, nose and eyes. Practicing good hand hygiene is the best way to
help reduce infections and illnesses. Some infections can also spread through
the air way which is why it's so important to cover your mouth with a tissue
instead of your hands when you sneeze.*
