mosan Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'm not sure about the blindness, but I'm extremely sentive to perfumes and colognes. Some of the hand cleaners I have used in the past months have almost put me flat on my back. I now use rubber surgical gloves when entering places or tell any such attendants at the door I will wash my hands in the restroom. Additionally, I carry my own alcohol/unscented hand cleaner to avoid situations where the content of various products are unknown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tribalfusion001 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I bought 70% alcohol content hand sanitizer in Watsons, the state of my hands after a week, I do get dry skin, but never in Thailand, stopped using it. I brought back to the UK with me, but not chancing it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Some of the hand sanitizers used at stores entrances seem a little suspect to say the least !! My local Big C have been using Dettol mixed with water !! Yesterday I used some “ sanitizer “ in Makro , turned out to be liquid soap, in a hand sanitizer bottle, what a sticky mess, don’t recommend !!

Speedo1968 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Too much use of sanitisers can destroy your bodies own natural protection. Remember every time you use a proffered sanitiser at a store many people have also touched the same bottle / pen etc. In some ways it may be better to use soap in the restroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should that matter if you sanitise both before and after usage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
