I shall bow to your experience when you tell me that HASI has changed - I remember when the 'M' in MRSE stood for Methacillin... And I agree about the alcohol gel - it is better for your hands, I see lots of nurses carrying around little dispensers pinned to their uniform. No in my day *cough* it was hand cream, I'm hoping that today it's alcohol gel. I use alcohol gel after every job (but I dread to think what is growing on the steering wheel of my car) - I had no problem with the normal hand wash, it actually made my hands nice and soft. But I'm strange like that.
