A gastroenterologist and a man who calls himself The Germ Guy warn that pharmacy touchscreens, door handles and payment terminals carry germs, because sick people go to pharmacies to get medicine.

The experts recommend hand sanitizer, applied for a full 15 seconds, as the best defense against this ancient and unavoidable hazard of leaving the house.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

You do not need a gastroenterologist to tell you a pharmacy during flu season has germs in it, same as you do not need a marine biologist to tell you the ocean is wet. The tip here amounts to wash your hands, which was true before anybody had a book deal about it. Hand sanitizer makers thank you for your attention to this developing crisis.
