Hand Sanitizer: Kills Germs and Funnels BPA Into Your Skin
All kinds of receipts and tickets contain the potentially toxic compound, which sanitizer helps our bodies to absorb.
At the base of CityLab’s office building is one of the best Mediterranean lunch spots you’ll find. Next to the cash register sits a giant jug of hand sanitizer, which I use immoderately each time I pay. It is flu season, after all.
I say “thank you,” grab my receipt, and proceed to rip into my falafel. Nothing out of the ordinary.
