I hope all in good nature!

I meant it in good nature, and wish that was more clearly written!!! And frankly, they were good words of advice that I will ALWAYS remember! I also had to wipe my screen and keyboard.

I sympathize, I really do. Ow.

[xarmydog]

It seemed like a good idea at the time!
What the heck,I never claimed to be a chemist!
If I could turn back time.
It has become a rolling joke that somehow seems to be brung up at all the worst times,I.E.BBQ’s,weddings,etc.
Thanks for the response.{I think!}

Mistakes can be painful.
I hate learning from my mistakes.
I recall it was Purell and it looked so clean and clear I assumed it was.
It is good stuff when properly used.
Desperation drives one to treat oneself but I can not convince any member of my family to help in administering first aid anymore!!

Yeppers; no anti-flashback valve, though...

You really should see someone. You’ll be motivated when you see the arterial blood all over the place.

I am looking at the sanitizer I have, and it is 62% ethyl alcohol. How can bacteria grow on that? It simply is not computing.

A 10% bleach solution is recommended for sanitizing suspected hanta virus areas.

Thanks.

I have no clue, unless those particular brands do not contain alcohol, or enough alcohol, or maybe Chinese alcohol?

There are a few that kill MRSA dead. Look for tea tree oil as an ingredient. Smells bad but it will kill the stuff.

[mad_as_he$$]

The propane helps.
