Hand Sanitizing

I am allergic to a chemical found in most soaps, shampoos, lotions, all kinds of cleaners, medical tape, bandages, etc.  I cannot use any kind of hand sanitizer because they too have the chemical.

So...what do I use, especially with this CoronaVirus spreading across the globe?

One day I came across these little spray bottles. All I put in it is the 70% isopropyl alcohol.  I have 91% but grabbed this first as the CDC (or was it the W.H.O.?) who said it should be 70 or above to be effective.

I regularly spray this on my hands, and because it dries my skin, I use a special lotion after.

When I go out, I also wear pretty lady-like gloves (have 5-8 pairs of various colors) so I don't touch cart handles, etc, then at home, I wash or spray the gloves.

Yes, some people give me weird looks when they see me in my gloves...especially in the Summer, but I have been doing this for years, and really don't care!!

Disposable Face Masks

I had ordered these masks a while ago, and patiently waited for them. They were due next week, but when I opened the front door just now to see if it was snowing, I found this package waiting for me. Confused, I opened it.

At first I was super-pumped that my masks were here. Then I took a closer look. Look at the pic with the pink masks. Note where the manufacturer is located...Wuhan. In China.

Uh...what?

So my conundrum is this: do I open and use them just as they are OR do I take them out and spray every one of them with an antibacterial spray like Lysol?

Fabric that I might use to make mask covers for a friend. She really loves cats!

Fabric for me, because I ALWAYS wear purple for epilepsy awareness.

Fabric for my son to choose through for his mask covers.

I had already purchased the above fabric squares to make covers because I only ordered 50 masks. In between uses, I can take the covers off and wash/disinfect.

Am I going overboard on this?

Maybe.

But ask me if I care!
