Light in the Darkroom

Basically share my thoughts and experiences of day to day life in general. Also, keep people a little more informed of my progress and what I'm doing. Of course evey single thing I do will not appear here, but it'll give you a good synopsis! I'll even add pictures from time to time of trips or photog outings.

You know, sometimes I get a little wordy...I'll try to keep most entries short, but if I'm discussing something that I feel strongly about - watch out! All in all I hope this to be a pleasurable experience one that we can all grow from.

Leave the negativity at that other spot...

Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer

So with the current H1N1 virus circulating and the "new" emphasis on hygiene, which hopefully you all tend to exercise everyday even before the scare began, Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer has made its way into the spotlight of the preferred alternative if soap and water is not a readily available option. My question to you is....exactly how long do these results last? Is it instantaneous killing of the existing bacteria and germs and then that's it, or do I have a guaranteed time frame of cleanliness? Does the cleaning power stay with me - if I were to touch something- do those germs still die? The back of the bottle explains the uses as:

*for handwashing to decrease bacteria on the skin
*recommended for repeated use

I think I need more information...I'm not sure how "safe" I feel with just rubbing alcohol and no hot water!?!
