Kids should be allowed hand sanitizer
"We have been wanting to put hand sanitizers in schools," said Lorri Pilkington, coordinator for health and nursing services for Leon County schools, "but we want to do it safely and with the blessings of all the agencies that are involved with the school system."
The "agencies of concern" are the Florida Department of Health, the Department of Education and the state Fire Marshal's Office, who are afraid that the high alcohol content of the sanitizers may be a hazard for starting fires or poisoning the children.
Considering the horrible E. coli poisoning of the children Galena Elementary School last month, I'd prefer they let the teachers have had sanitizer. And just keep them away from open flames.

You don't have to choose between germs and toxic alcohol any longer. Many alternative non-alcohol instant hand sanitizers are popping up to help. In our great country, there is always a solution right around the corner, and in this case a dentist in Boca Raton, FL is our man. He began working on the problem of dry cracked hands in the health care industry for his own hands sake. You can visit his website and obtain the product (SafeHands) @ Safehands4u.com. SafeHands has a germ kill rate that is superior to alcohol, and is not toxic or flamable.
I found a great product at www.bacteriadissolver.com . It contains no alcohol and actually feels great on my hands.
I think all the agencies would be o. k. with this. It needs to be out there to protect our kids.
