Anybody know about surgical hand scrubs?
I'm a surgical technologist and we have 2 scrubs at the hospital I work in.
1. Chlorhexadine Gluconate
2. Betadine
I get a bad reaction from both of those.
We also have a waterless scrub Avagard which I also react to.
Does anyone know if there are other surgical hand scrubs for the surgical team that are acceptable to scrub with for surgery?

Rather than allergies what you have is multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). They are related but not the same condition. I would speak with an allergist that specialties in chemical sensitivities to see the best way to treat your condition. People with chemical sensitivities tend to react to lots of different chemicals and it can be a trail and error to find what works for you. But given that your job is at stake I would no proceed without the supervision of an expert.
