Wash hands if

Wash hands if exposed to toxics

From Kompas

Not only are some commercials on TV not edifying, they are also misleading to viewers. One such commercial concerns Antis antiseptic.

We have been told since childhood to wash our hands before eating. Unfortunately, one Antis commercial shows us that it is enough for us to apply Antis to our hands before having a meal.

This commercial can have a dangerous effect. Just imagine that someone's hands have just been exposed to some kind of colorless and odorless toxic material. Will the use of Antis guarantee that this toxic material will be neutralized so that this person can safely use his hands to pick up food, even without washing them. I believe it would be safer, in such a situation, to wash your hands first and then apply Antis to them

It is indeed the right of the producer of Antis to make commercials to attract customers, but of course the content of the commercials must stand up to reason.
