If regular hand sanitizer was infused with the "hot component" of chili peppers, capsaicin, then users would be continually reminded whenever they touched their faces after using this hand sanitizer. The capsaicin on their hands would burn their eyes, nose, and mouth, whenever they inadvertently touched
them.
After a while, people using this type of hand sanitizer would have stopped touching their faces altogether.

Already suggested, but I think it's a pretty good idea. |

I was thinking about applying handcuffs to my hands and
locking myself wherever I go. I touch my face constantly. I
talk with my hands. My whole family does too. It's genetic, I
think. I also rub my eyes when tired and itch my nose a lot. |

So ? 60% of Covid-19 cases are asymptomatic. Of those that get symptoms, 30% are only mildly ill, no worse than a cold. From Fermi estimation, mortality with - not from -the virus is less than 0.1%, and mortality solely from Covid-19 is not detectable. |

Ahead of his time, always. |

It's the inevitable consequence of coming from a different reality ... |

Before implementing this or any other method
stopping people from touching their own faces, we
need to first address the related phenomenon of
one’s nose becoming incredibly itchy as soon as
one’s hands are covered in paint, grease or
whatever. |

Oh, that's just one of Murphy's Laws, well-documented. |

No Ph.D. there, [Aus], it's been researched to death. |

Just thought I'd check if anyone on HB had suggested anything as ludicrous as injecting bleach or spending time in a sunbed... |
