Is it just me or are a lot of people going overboard with hand sanitizer? I find it odd to see people applying hand sanitizer even though they've just left home and are visiting one place. Then you see people constantly applying hand sanitizer when entering shopping complexes and visiting various stores. Personally, I try to limit my use of hand sanitizer because I have sensitive skin. Also I'm in Australia where we don't have major outbreaks right now.
