Is anyone aware of a study that revealed a high percentage of contamination from touching the skin after antiseptic was applied? A recent conference speaker mentioned a study regarding this issue and I did not get the resource. This may be a shot in the dark but I hope someone may have heard about this. I am trying to email the speaker.
Thanks,
Christine Thomas
