Join the Purell Advanced 30-Day Challenge #PURELL30

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Purell with the Mom It Forward Blogger Network.

Purell sanitizers have become a necessity in my family. My 7 year old niece is a soft-spoken kid who faces a ton of daily challenges. One of those challenges stems from a severe dye allergy. Contact with red, blue, orange and yellow dyes can send her into anaphylaxis. It started with food additives. Ingesting the coloring sent her to the hospital several times.

It then grew into skin contact issues. Crayons, markers and paint were easy to avoid, but no one ever thought about soap. My niece cannot wash her hands with many of the soaps offered in public areas due to the dyes. Unable to cleanse her hands, Purell comes to the rescue to keep her healthy and kill bacteria. Each of my family members carries a travel-sized bottle in our purses, cars and, at school, she has a bottle hanging from a lanyard she wears around her neck.

Some amazing facts you should consider when it comes to keeping you and your family healthy…

• According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other leading health organizations, proper hand hygiene is one of the most important preventative measures you can take to reduce your risk of illness and infection.
• When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains as least 60% alcohol.
• If hands are visibly dirty, it’s always best to clean them with soap and water, but new Purell Advanced Sanitizing Wipes can now help remove dirt and eliminate germs.
• A recent study conducted by the makers of Purell demonstrated that the use of an alcohol-based hand sanitizer can significantly reduce the transfer of a virus to the hands, and prevent germ transfer via commonly touched surfaces within the household.
• In a study conducted by the makers of Purell, absenteeism caused by illness was 51 percent lower in classrooms that used Purell Hand Sanitizer regularly and implemented a hand hygiene educational program versus classrooms that did not.
