All this talk of Coronavirus
has me feeling nervous. I am planning to fly across the country next week and
the last thing I want is to catch a bug. So I went to the store today for hand
sanitizer—and the shelves were empty. However, I read online that I could make
my own. Here’s my recipe:
DIY Hand Sanitizer
Ingredients:
2/3 cup 91% isopropyl
alcohol
1/3 cup 100% aloe vera
Directions:
Measure alcohol and aloe
vera into a clean glass mixing bowl. Use a wire whisk to stir until well
combined. Pour the hand sanitizer into clean containers.
Yield: 1 cup (about 236 ml)
Other things you can do
to avoid getting sick:
Wash your hands thoroughly
and often.
Don’t touch your face.
Avoid shaking hands. Some
people are bumping fists or elbows. I’m avoiding that, too as it is still
skin-to-skin contact. Besides, people often sneeze into their hands and elbows.
