In this pandemic world, we are all using hand sanitizer. However, fireworks and hand sanitizer don’t mix. The effective hand sanitizers are at least 60-70% alcohol, hence the issue when paired with fireworks. Just wash your hands with soap and water.

  • Make sure fireworks are legal in your area.
