ok, you heard something based on fact, but completely off. Using a lot of hand sanitizer is not dangerous to a person's immune system. The problem is that, in the long run, bacteria can get immune to the hand sanitizer. It kills 99% of them, but the ones that survive get slightly stonger. So, in theory, it could be dangerous. But it takes a long time to create some sort of super bacteria using hand sanitizer. So, I wouldn't worry too much.

the only bad thing is that some of them make your hands dry out a bit.

NO! Hospital workers use it before and after every patient, all day long. No one I know has complained yet.

lol, no, thats not true. Use it regularly. Itll keep you from getting sick. We all touch our faces, and if your hands are clean, youll have much less chance of getting sick.

I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE. IT IS GOOD TO USE IT AT LEAST 4 TIMES A DAY.
