Well, we use glutaraldehyde for different purposes, but my experience with it is that it is fairly volatile.  If the surface has dried, then their is likely to be only the smallest trace amounts remaining.  \n\nFurthermore, the machine you're using should be drying and collecting the glutaraldehyde vapors.  If you can smell it when you open up the containment, you need to be concerned about your own health.\n\nGlutaraldehyde doesn't sterilize by leaving a residue like some antiseptics might.

If possible, avoid anyone with an obvious infection, especially if there's a discharge, cough,etc. There are disinfectant hand lotions. Wipe areas that may be contaminated with alcohol. Be \nsure to clean thoroughly.

think about how many people use a restroom everyday, then think about how many wash their hand properly, [like none, you have to wash ur hands for at least a minute] so imagine how bacterial feces and vaginal blood and all that. i don't even want to think about it. i just bring hand sanitizer everywhere.

It would be considered rude.  The most polite way to do it would be to use sanitizer on your own hands after shaking hands with others.

Why is it recurring?\n\nIs he on antibiotics?\nDoes he have poor hygeine - does he wash his hands after going to the toilet and before eating?\nDoes someone who cares for him or prepares his food have poor hygeine?\n\nYes, Vanc is the standard treatment of choice, but it's not pleasant.

Ask lots of questions or have the client fill out a health history.  You have the right to refuse service to someone if they have a disease that can be transmitted.  Also, wash, wash, wash your hands before and after a massage, and use disinfected wash or whatever that stuff is called.  I use it every day and I can't even think of the name.  You know that stuff that is like water and dissolves the dirt and germs off.  It's like soap but you don't need water... geez... I'm sure you know what I'm talking about though.

Where you going?...the nail salon i use has a pot of disinfectant that they drop their utensils into during treatment and then they put em in the Sterilizer after each customer...im sure there are regulations regarding this in place....contact your local health authority...they should be able to inform you of the practices and you could report them whilst you are enquiring....

Being a nursing student and recently taken microbiology, I have actually done an experiment with one of these products. They do not kill viruses because viruses are not alive until they enter the body and obtain a sample of its victims DNA. This is why they are so hard to cure. To answer your question, applying the hand sanitizer alone will not kill germs and bacteria. When applying them you should briskly rub it on your hands. It is the rubbing action along with the ingredients in the sanitizer that kills the bacteria.

The main protection is simple soap and water to protect you and the pateient.  It is the most effective way of preventing transmission of disease... but you must do it after every patient!  Good luck.

welld oint this can be tricky without proper sterile procedure... however it is not impossible...\n\n\nget a sleeve of plastic or glass petri dishes\n\nmix up a mixture of Malt Extract And Agar... and put it in a sealable vessle that can be pressure cooked or boiled at a high temperature...\n\nIn a clean environment after boiling or pressure cooking for about 15-25 minutes, \n\ntake the vessle and pour your agar plates...\n\ntake the dishes and let them cool in a very clean environment\n\nonce cool....\n\ntake a qtip and swab the inside of your mouth really well\n\nopen each plate and swab the surface with the qtip\n\nrepeat for each plate\n\nincubate the plates at room temperature for about 3 days or so\n\nyou should see some growth\n\nor you can do it this way\n\nhttp://www.science-projects.com/NAplates.htm\n\nwww . Science-Projects . com \n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nMaking Nutrient Agar ("NA") Plates\n \n| Site's Table of Contents | Site's Index |\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThere are several ways to make NA plates, all depending on what you have to start with. The well equipped person has clean and sterile empty petri plates, and a bottle of NA powder sitting on the shelf. That person needs only to follow the directions on the bottle. As it is the purpose of this website to assist those who, being mostly young students, have neither NA powder nor even petri plates. What are they to do? Here's what! \n\nPETRI PLATES FROM SCRATCH\n(click this to find ready-made plates) \n\nFirst, you must find something that simulates a petri plate. Rather shallow glass custard cups covered by a double thickness of aluminum foil works well. \n\nSecond, you must have the nutrient agar to put in them. What might you use as a alternative to the commercially available microbiological stuff? The answer is canned beef or chicken broth (supermarket) and agar (health foods store; sometimes called "agar agar"). \n\nThird, you must sterilize these things in appropriate combinations. Included in the following steps will be the way to use a pressure cooker. There is NO substitute for a pressure cooker or autoclave, which is an automated pressure cooker. Boiling is not a sterilizing condition. Boiling doesn't work! The only commonly employed sterilizing conditions are wet heat at 120°c (250°F) for 20 minutes (pressure cooker), or dry heat in excess of 190°c (375°F) or more for an hour or more (oven). \n\n\nMeasure and record the amount of water that half-fills a custard cup. \nDetermine the number of plates (custard cups) you will need to use, and from that the amount of medium you need to make to half-fill all the cups. \nEmpty a can of fatfree beef or chicken broth into a large measuring cup and dilute, if necessary, with water as per the instructions on the side of the can. Mix. Discard the excess beyond what you need for your cups. Pour this into a sauce pan. \nAdd 1 level teaspoon of agar per 2/3 cup of broth. Stir the required amount of agar into the COLD broth in the sauce pan. \nTurn on the heat, and with constant and continuous stirring and/or swirling bring just to a boil. Keep swirling, and then adding small amounts of heat, and do this until all the granules of agar are dissolved. Agar solutions burn very easily - just like making gravy (in which you have added another polysaccharide as a thickening agent). An alternative way to do it is to place the broth/agar mix into a glass bowl and place it in a microwave oven. But do this cautiously as the mix will suddenly foam up. So be ready to shut off the energy at any moment. Give the dissolving solution a swirl, and microwave a bit longer. Swirl and energize repeatedly until all the granules are dissolved.§ \nDistribute the hot medium among the cups you need. \nPlate pieces of double-thick aluminum foil over the cups so that at leas

Contact poison controll. The surfactant might give you diarrhea, but the other two are what i would be concerned about.

Of course it will not give you health problems.  perhaps you are having an allergic reaction to the cleaning products you are using.
