Second, the Zylast Lotion is effective against pathogens like the Norovirus, rotavirus, and the common cold some of the most prevalent diseases among children, and germs against which alcohol sanitizers are relatively ineffective. Finally, the product is water-based and moisturizes the hands, so children and staff actually like using it, which greatly improves compliance." Dr. Beth McNichol
