Why you must stop using hand sanitizers immediately

- You may develop resistance to antibiotics.Many hand sanitizers use triclosan, an antibiotic that theoretically eradicates 99% of the bacteria living on your hands. However, bacteria are smart. When you use antibiotics when they’re not necessary, bacteria adapt and become stronger. When you actually need antibiotics, they may be ineffective.
- It may disrupt your hormonal levels. One of the biggest concerns of triclosan is what it can do to hormonal levels. Research indicates that triclosan disturbs hormone levels, particularly in children and young adults. This can have lifelong effects.
- Hand sanitizer can be dangerous to young children. Young children put everything in their mouths! A couple pumps of hand sanitizer is the equivalent of several shots of alcohol, so it’s easy for children or pets to accidentally get alcohol poisoning.
- Triclosan may negatively impact your immune system. Researchers look at hospitals, where hand sanitizers are often used because of their speed and convenience. However, those who regularly rely on sanitizer rather than soap have been found to be at higher risk for serious illness.
- You leave yourself open to germs and bacteria. The main component of hand sanitizer is alcohol. Regularly using this on your hands can be extremely drying. This may make the skin on your hands crack, giving bacteria a direct path to your body.
