With fair skin that sunburns easily I always have a bottle of aloe vera on hand; usually with lidocaine in it. By adding alcohol I could sanitize and numb my hands at the same time.

Just over-responsive to every media “narrative” pseudo-event.

Perhaps check with Amazon, Walmart, Target. I have been considering getting one ever since I suffered a mild strike.

I think soap and water will do the trick.

“Sad that so many of what used be Americans are now hoarding.“

The old WWII saying was “Make it, make do, or do without”.

Who has large amounts of aloe vera gel around at home?

Probably easier to find on amazon than hand sanitizer. Making it this way is probably a heck of a lot cheaper than the pre-made stuff as well.

I doubt alcohol will be available right now.

Pure hysteria. We’re exiting cold and flu season right now, and the flu is proven to be more deadly than the coronavirus - no run on Purell for the flu, but suddenly people decide they have to have it for coronavirus.

I love the part of the label that says “Warning: Overconsumption may endanger your health”.

I keep a small bottle of it around to help with mosquito bites in the summer. Also works as emergency fuel for a zippo.

I recommend a mixture of one part Old No. 7, one part Tennessee Honey, and one part RealLemon juice... oh wait... that is my favorite recipe for a Jack whiskey sour... never mind...

Haha me too. I had this huge planter in my front courtyard with nothing in it. At one of our buncos the hostess gave plants for gifts. Mine was a small little aloe vera plant. I put it in that pot and now it’s humongous!
