As you can see, they were quite dirty.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Then, I put on a liberal dose of Purell hand sanitizer. (In order to make sure hand sanitizer does its temporary job, you need almost a teaspoon of it, according to the\u00a0American Council on Science and Health.)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With that, the germs cleared up quite a bit. However, hand sanitizer does not remove bacteria (as hand soap does). It simply neutralizes the bacteria, but leaves it on your hand, allowing it to\u00a0resurge later.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BB10QRHQ.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55020\" src=\"http:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BB10QRHQ.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BB10QRHQ.png 799w, https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BB10QRHQ-300x270.png 300w, https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BB10QRHQ-768x690.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The most striking photo was the final one, after I lathered my hands for 20 seconds and rinsed for five to 10 seconds.
