my trusty hand sanitizer

Admittedly I have something of an OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). I have two bottles of hand sanitizers near me all the time - one in my car and the other in my tote bag
.

It was round about the time of the SARS outbreak (don’t ask me when that was, quite a few years ago, I think) that I had to rush out and buy my first bottle of hand sanitizers for the kids to take to school to wash their hands before recess.
I’ve been carrying a bottle of anti-septic handwash around with me ever since. To be honest, I do have a little problem with shopping cart handles which, as I read, are the dirtiest things ever.
Sure they look clean but apparently they’re home to all sorts of bacteria. Can you imagine if someone sneezed on it while shopping? Yikes. Okay, I know germs and bacteria are everywhere. Don’t even get me started on that
.
I was beginning to think I was wierd until I saw a lady fish her hand sanitizer from her handbag and proceeded to rub her hands together after her meal at a restaurant. So I’m not wierd after all.
A hand sanitizer is very convenient for when you travel considering it’s not always possible to find a convenient place to wash your hands. It’s rinse-free.
