There is a lot of confusion about PPE and disinfecting. People wear surgical masks thinking they are making themselves safe - which they arent. I think also people use magical thinking with disinfectants.

I remember one EMT call where my partner got blood on her arm. She impulsively reached for the handsantizer but I told her to wait. Took her back to the hospital (we just left) and let her wash with soap.

I felt in the moment like an alcohol based wash would just irritate her skin and open pores or perhaps breakdown the skin . When the alcohol evaporates much of the crud would still be there whereas washing with soap feels like you will better handle the issue with surfactant. Might have been wrong.
