Re: Excellent product for dry hands

At night. (or for us shift workers whenever we go to bed!) put vics vapour rub on your hands (or feet) and it works wonders...it also works as a cough suppressant too!

Re: Excellent product for dry hands

As a nurse for over 30 years, I have developed a latex allergy. I tell all nurses to use non-latex or powderless gloves whenever they are available, (some hospitals give you a hard time as they are more expensive,)and they tell me it helps their hands tremendously. It also will decrease your chances of becoming allergic over time, as many cases take years to progress. We have to advocate for ourselves right! BTW, if you are allergic to powder or latex, it is an OSHA requirement for the hospital to provide non-latex gloves to you.

Just an off-topic comment from me: Many, if not most, hospitals have a non-latex balloon policy, also.

Thanks, stellar, for reminding us of this policy.
