Where it began, I can't begin to knowing
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Toss Bryan's can be very expensive for lots of things in my experience!

In general proper hand washing is as good as using a hand sanitiser. However for people such as my mother who is in her eighties and suffering from cancer hand sanitisers can be vital. She needs to have one in her hall so that visitors make sure they don't carry in any infection.

We cannot get hold of any, but ut my local chemist told me that when they got a stock in recently people were grabbing handfuls and they were sold out in minutes.

Can I just appeal to people to be aware that if, as a healthy low risk family, they are depleting shops of hand sanitisers, many of which will remain in cupboards unused, they are depriving ill and vulnerable people and their families of a simple way of keeping a loved one safe.

Please, if stocks are replenished, don't hog them and stock pile.. Leave enough to keep ill and vulnerable n people safe.

I’m sorry that is happening. For most people , that aren’t vulnerable, hand washing is suffice. Chemists and shops should really prevent this from happening and ration them to one per sale. Are you on any Facebook groups? I’m sure if you post your moms situation someone will donate some to you. People can be very kind and may have some lying around that aren’t being used or needed.

Rubbing alcohol
Aloe vera gel
Tee tree oil

I don’t think this is good advice although well intended. I think that sick people need to know what they are using actually works. Hopefully the poster will be able to get some. If they put out an appeal I’m sure some kind people would donate some

To be honest it's not a product I use, I've bought them in the past for if I'm out and about and I need to change a nappy and no facilities.

I suffer badly with dermatitis on my hands, so the alcohol stings the bejaysus out of me. The cuts then open and bleed so really defeats the purpose. I usually wear normal gloves when out and about.

Having said that if they were a product I use I would definitely have a stockpile (I stockpile everything else).

I have the same issue with the hand sanitizer it's burns the hands off me.
I wear rubber gloves at home for cleaning and polishing etc to save my hands.
I even have to buy the non powdered ones they even irritate my hands.
Just very sensitive with dermatitis which I can control. Hand washing is fine and dry them properly But the hand sanitizer burns!
Hand washing is better anyway.

Same here, family member going through Chemo. None to be got locally and tried Boots online out of stock too.

That is awful. Can you appeal on a Facebook page for help?

Ordinary soap does the same job.


Coronaviruses, like this year’s version that has left 100,000 worldwide infected with COVID-19, are encased in a lipid envelope -- basically, a layer of fat. Soap can break that fat apart and make the virus unable to infect you.

The second thing soap does is mechanical. It makes skin slippery so that with enough rubbing, we can pry germs off and rinse them away.

Rubbing alcohol ( surgical spirits) will work just as well as a hand sanitizer as an anti septic . Its widely used in hospitals as an anti septic

As long as alcohol content is 60% or more, it will do the job.

The pharmacist gave me a hand sanitizer today. The last one she said and also got me the last surgical spirits. I used to get my script there so she knows my immune system is being a pr1ck so maybe that helped.
I also got the last bottle of Dettol that was hidden under the shelf in Tesco. All I need now is a crate of Guinness , 100 major and a big bag of weed and I'll happily self isolate.
( Until next week anyway )

It's profiteering in all fairness. Stacks had lots of it, only bought 2 but Toss Bryan's should be ashamed when people are going shop to shop looking for this..

It’s simple people, when this has blown over just don’t shop in the shops that price gouged... it is a very short term view, put up prices for a quick buck but youse have the power to vote with your feet and long term, if shops try do the quick buck, it will be minuscule compared to the loss of long term custom, but that is if you actually make that stand....
If I was a pharmacy I would be thinking the opposite and reducing the price but have a limit of 2 per customer, and in this way you would actually be helping your business long term by creating goodwill and also building up customer loyalty. Not to mention easing people’s stresses who may not have the income to pay the inflated prices like pensioners who are most vulnerable or perhaps even do a free bottle for any pensioner who shows a bus pass....

Apart from there electrical stuff. I find them expensive.
Christmas decorations, homewares,etc. are often double the price.

That's so true. I will not be returning to one place anyway they boarded up the door with boxes and you have to order from the door they wear masks and gloves Bit dramatic. Didn't put the prices up but told me stocks will run out so buy now

Well then they should have restricted it to a small number per customer.

On Friday, the French government implemented a limitation on how much the now much-coveted product can be sold for. 

Applicable until the end of May, a 50ml bottle is capped at €2, 100ml at €3 and 300ml at €5 and a litre at €15. There have now been calls for Ireland to follow suit but will they..
