Cleaning Up the Gene Pool, One Idiot at a Time
What do these sorry fools think they are doing? A swig or two of hand soap because it might contain alcohol is bad enough - but what of the soap part of the concoction? I'm betting ~that's~ going to clean out the ol' alimentary tract...
Seriously, this article points out some of the folly of modern marketing which has convinced us that we need to be scrubbing our hands with toxic chemicals in order to "sterilize" them. All of the "sanitizing" that most of us need can be accomplished very nicely with simple soap, running water, and a good, brisk scrubbing, but the ad people and the marketing people have sucessfully leveraged people's fears into a major industry, aimed at putting toxic chemicals into every bathroom.
Make no mistake folks - isopropyl alcohol is not fit to drink! Nor is antifreeze, paint thinner, wood alcohol, or any of the other toxins that we occasionally hear of some denzien of the bottom of the gene pool sampling, usually with tragic results.
"Better living through chemistry"? Not! We are surrounded already by enough toxins - let's try to keep the bathroom sink a toxin-free area. Get used to the fact that your hands are ~never~ going to be sterile - clean is just fine!
Cheers,
