Yep. You are 100% right. I sure wish I could convince my 2 year old and 6 year old of this. We've told that until we are blue in the face since they were born. Just like any kid, they are not perfect with that practice and that could get my oldest daughter killed in todays world. We can convince them to "sanitize" much easier. It helps and sanitizer definitely has its place in our household.

Thank you all again for your input and help.
