How Hand Sanitizer Works

(Image: Tom Casey and Eitan Sheena)

The typical bottle of hand sanitizer will tell you that it kills 99.99% of the germs on your hands. Just slather it on.

Science has advanced to the point in which it can kill 100% of germs. But to deter other attacks, it's necessary to send back at least one germ as a warning to the others.

I have diabetes. I did not get it from junk food or pop. I think I'd had one can of Coke in my entire life before I was diagnosed at age five. My diabetes is an autoimmune disease, but because of lines like yours about "diabetic friends," people automatically assume I got diabetes because I was fat, because my parents fed me junk food when I was a kid, or because I drank too much sugared pop. How about you stop using stereotypes and inform yourself about diabetes.

They believe I was fat as a child and that my parents must have fed me too much junk food and/or that my school must have had pop and junk food in vending machines. (My parents did not feed me junk food and my school had no vending machines.)
