What is the best option to sanitize?

How do you disinfect your hands? Do you turn on the water, put soap on your hands, scrub-a-dub-dub, and then rinse thoroughly? On the other hand, you can just use sanitizer, right?

Well, what is the best sanitizer to use, something that will really kill the germs?

Just to give you a few sanitizing 411's found in a NPR article, an alcohol-based sanitizer causes bacteria to die, but the alcohol evaporates soon after putting it on. Also, not all bacteria’s are killed by the alcohol-based sanitizers, it doesn’t protect you from a virus that causes stomach and intestinal issues.

The next way to sanitize is with chlorine, but even that, as soap, stops working soon after it dries. It has been used to help at Ebola treatment centers for hand-washing.

Both the alcohol-based and chlorine ways to sanitize aren’t good for your skin.

So if your going to use these, make sure your are doing it frequently and also moistourizing your hands afterwards.

One sanitizer stands above others and is being used to help fight Ebola as well as is sold to schools, consumers, and hospitals.

Zylast was introduced two years ago by Innovative BioDefense Inc., in Lake Forest, Calif. In studies it has killed a wide variety of bacteria and viruses, says CEO Colette Cozean, including viruses similar to Ebola.

Zylast claims to start killing bacteria and viruses within 15 seconds, and claims to work up to 6 hours. It comes in several forms as well, including a lotion form.

So my fellow Nacogdochans, with the outbreak of many different viruses and other forms of sickness, what sanitizer will you use?

I mean as a college student I don’t have time to get sick and if you work and have kids, you don’t want them or you getting sick either.

Whether its Zylast, Purell, or plain washing your hands well, cleaning germs is a must to prevent spreading illness and getting sick yourself.
