Woman Mistook Disinfectants as Forehead Thermometer & Sprayed it on a Customer’s Eyes

There isn’t a single aspect of life that hasn’t been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Shaking hands is now a big no-no, everyone has to cover half their face when they go out, and washing hands after using the toilet is strongly encouraged.

Reader: You mean you never washed your hands after using the toilet before the Covid-19 pandem-

That’s not important right now, dear reader.

Nowadays, people can’t enter supermarkets or convenience stores in some countries without having their temperature taken and hands sanitised.

And if you’re the one given this laborious job, slacking is off is simply not acceptable, because it can lead to this:

Woman Mistook Disinfectants as Forehead Thermometer & Sprayed it on a Customer’s Eyes

When a woman walked into a 7-Eleven to get some items, she probably expected a thermometer scan on her forehead and a spritz of sanitiser in her hands.

The forehead scan went as expected.

But even though she laid her hands open for that sweet sanitiser, the employee, for some unknown reason, sprayed the hand sanitiser solution into her eyes.

And the customer started touching her eyes, presumably because they were hurting.

The guilty employee, who must have been daydreaming about cakes, led the poor woman away and that’s when the video ends.

Now, if you’ve ever come across a forehead thermometer and hand sanitiser spray, you’d know that the two look vastly different.

So, either this woman was sleep-deprived, or she wanted to make her mundane job a little more interesting.

At least those woman’s eyes are clean AF.

Not All Hand Sanitisers Are Created Equal

It’s likely that in addition to the 125 boxes of face masks you purchased when you first heard about the coronavirus, you also have a couple of hand sanitiser bottles.

Hand sanitiser is seen as a convenient way to clean your hands without visiting a washroom.

Plus, it can make your hands smell like lavender, which is always nice.

But not all hand sanitisers work against viruses like Covid-19.

Firstly, hand sanitizer should be 60 to 95% alcohol to be effective at protecting you against infectious diseases.

So, if your sanitiser is under 60% alcohol, you may as well be rubbing Coke on your hands.

We should also avoid homemade sanitisers, as they may not have the necessary ingredients to be effective in killing germs.

Secondly, people generally don’t use enough hand sanitiser for it to be effective. We like to think of hand sanitiser as this magical substance that kills everything in its path.

But for it to actually work, you need to apply the specified amount as directed by the product’s label to the palm of one hand, and rub the sanitizer thoroughly over both hands until they feel dry.

Just like washing hands, you should rub this sanitiser over both hands for 20 seconds to effectively kill germs and microbes.

At the end of the day, though, nothing beats soap and water.

So, wash your hands regularly and only use hand sanitiser if you’re outside and can’t find a washroom.

And remember, as its name suggests, the hand sanitiser should go on your hands, not your eyes.
