Hand sanitizer doesn't remove food allergens from hands! Hand sanitizer "kills" germs, but they don't do anything to food proteins. You need to thoroughly wash with soap and water or use cleaning wipes to remove allergens.

Stop using Benadryl (diphenhydramine). There are better options with fewer side effects.

Benadryl impairs the brain and affects the heart. Allegra®, CLARINEX®, Claritin®, Xyzal®, and ZYRTEC® are newer generation antihistamines that work quickly and do not have serious side effects like Benadryl.

Talk with your doctor about the best options for you.

NOTE: If you’re having a serious allergic reaction, the first-line treatment is epinephrine.
