Do hand sanitizers work any better than soapand water?
洗手液比肥皂水好用嗎?
Yaël: We re-enjoy our hero, the handsome Donne, in the kitchen where he's preparing baked Alaska for his lovely bride.
再看看我們的男主角Donne,不僅擁有帥氣的外表,還會在廚房里親手為女朋友做火焰冰淇淋。
Don: Yes, yes. The way to a woman's heart is through her stomach.
嗯,嗯,抓住女人心最好的辦法就是抓住她的胃!
Y: But wat's this? Donne's handling the food without first washing his hands. Isn't he worried about passing on cold germs and other nasty bacteria to the lovely Delina?
D: Oh, cut the melodrama. I'm not poison in anyone. You see, ordinary soup and water dry my hands, so I switch to a hand sanitizer. A hand sanitizer contains alcohol, which kills the germs and then evaporates on contact. And it also contains soothing emollients to counter the alcohol's drying effect.
Y: Not the fact, Don. Sure, hand sanitizers kill the germs on your hands–including the residentbacteria that live there, and the transient illness-causing bacteria you pick up off doorknobs. But unless you rinse them off in water, the dirt on your hands isn't affected. It's like sanitizing dishes without first rinsing them off.
Y: What's more, as the alcohol evaporates, it strips your hands of their protective oils and pulls up resident bacteria that live in the deeper layers of your skin, so you may end up with more germs on the surface of your hands than you started with.
