I notice that some of you use alcohol gel.
Just remember that alcohol gel does not kill 100% of the bacteria on your hands, and the bacteria that survive are the strongest ones, which may reproduce and become a strain of bacteria that are resistant to alcohol gel.
Washing is also a less than 100% kill of bacteria, but is apparently not as likely to create resistant strains.
So, I use the gel when I am in a hurry or when I am in the field (or at the local herp show), but I try to wash with soap and hot water
whenever possible.
