@particles Not all foot-activated sanitizers have a risk of spraying in kids' faces, and some non-foot-activated ones may do it too. I don't see a link between the two, you did.

@particles Sorry, I must have misunderstood you. Don't forget that not everyone knows what the situation is in the US. I have no idea what hand sanitizers look like there, but you implied that they don't always work, hence my response: foot activated always work. Concerning the spraying in the face, it's not a huge deal (except for uncaring parents?), yes it happened once or twice to my son, but we quickly learned. However (and that the source of the misunderstanding), (1/2)

@destinationeu Oh you too? I think my brain lacks the "fear of heat" synapses. It's almost terrifying at times. My default way to see if a hotplate or such is hot or not is usually to touch it (luckily we mostly use gas at home for cooking)

@particles In practice, most people in Japan have been using them daily for three years, so I guess we're past the "in-theory" here. 😉
With that being said, it gives a false sense of security to people regarding #Covid despite the fact that we now know that #COVIDisAirborne . It's still great against various noroviruses and rotaviruses so, I'm not complaining.
(I must admit that I sometimes confuse rota- and noro- I've been a bit too focused on the corona- kind lately.)

@particles We all had to learn this (the hard way) at the beginning. Now my son knows better (and has grown up quite a bit since the beginnings of the pandemic).
