Soap VS Sanitizer: Useful Facts #1

There's a on going battle as to what works better; soap and water or hand sanitizer and the answer is both if used properly. Soap has been the go to for a long time...well...like...forever really. In  perspective of soap's history, hand sanitizer is "future tech", convenient, and sometimes claimed to be a better solution for hygienic needs. This post will bring the bout to an end! Given the current times with the scare of COVID-19 (corona virus) I feel this can be pretty relevant and useful information.

WELCOME TO MY EXPERIMENT! I am trying something new; "Useful Facts". These will be a series of random facts and very brief posts (hopefully). I hope you find them enjoyable.

So what's better? 

In short, although it may be subjective, soap and water. The reason being is that soap and water, removes debris, oils, germs, viruses, microbes, and other contaminants that can be harmful. This is not to be confused with actually killing the germs, viruses, microbes. Additionally hand sanitize is proven not to clean under the finger nails. 

The importance of soap and water in comparison? Think about it; often times do you see a surgeon prepping using sanitizer before operating? Or a doctor using sanitizer while examining you? I would hope not. 

So why and when to use hand sanitizer?

Whenever soap is not available. Convenience is not a good practice to use sanitizer although tempting. While it kills germs and the likes, it cannot effectively remove everything else which would still leave your hands dirty. 

Why use it?

Because it's all you got at the time. When your in a social setting or away from a sink it's better than nothing. It is better to be germ free and hygienic than to spread a cold, flue, or worse

When should I use it?

After shaking hands, opening a door, or whenever you feel the need arises. However my suggestion, once you get to a sink don't hesitate to soap up and rinse.

Photo by Dids from Pexels The Professional Lurker For starters, it's not what you think! If you're unfamiliar with message boards, forums, chat rooms, or live streams; you may think a lurker is a negative entity to have around. We think, someone or some THING is watching, stalking, and waiting. In the streaming world however, lurking can provide some benefits. What is a stream lurker and why do they lurk? Simply put, a lurker is someone that chooses not to or is unable to participate in a stream's chat. There are many reasons a person may not participate in a stream or the stream's chat that may be, but not limited to, social anxiety, shyness, out for a drive, working, and/or just about any reason that hinders the ability to type or click something in the stream. So, why lurk?  Support! While some lurkers are there to just check out a streamer most lurkers, from my experience, are there to support the streamer.
