Question: How do I avoid germs when I can't wash my hands in a sink with running water?
The absolute best way to fight germs and prevent infection is good old-fashioned hand washing. But when you can't scrub up, you can turn to waterless hand sanitizers, those convenient little bottles for on-the-go.
But there are risks involved with some of these products (not to mention the disposable plastic containers): many expose you to potentially harmful chemicals and may compromise your long-term immunity. So read the labels - not all sanitizers are created equal.
