Hand sanitizer has become a necessity for everyone in the post-COVID world. You can buy it just about anywhere, but you might not be aware that some are safer than others, and some work better than others. It’s worth noting that while washing with soap water is always a superior option, there are occasions that you simply can’t use soap and water, and you need a safe hand sanitizer to reach for. In June and July of 2020, the FDA issued warnings about hand sanitizers that contained methanol or were contaminated with methanol.
