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.
