General knowledge w.r.t. sanitizer
Hello Doctor!
My general query is, whether it is safe to touch foods and eat by using hands after applying Hand Sanitizer (alcoholic or non alcoholic) in the hands? Do we need to wash our hands again with clean water when we have to touch any edible items or when we have to eat foods?
Thanks in advance!

Washing your hands with soap is better than sanitizer if possible

Wash ur hands with disco n water (preferably upto elbow) before eating anything. If u r using sanitiser then it should contain almost 75% alcohol. Then u can eat food with hands. Avoid touching ur face n nose
