Using sanitizer will dry your hands to the point of leaving open cracks on your hands (not healthy).

A few years back we went to the Louisville Slugger factory. They have a ton of hands on items and encourage you to pick up bats and touch the exhibits. I touched them all, and watched a movie and sat in seat that had someone else in in shortly before I sat down.
Near the end of our stay after the tour of the bat production line I went into the gift shop and it was PACKED wall to wall with people. Then we loaded up on a bus to go to a restaurant. I was thinking I really want to wash the dirt off my hands before I eat. They took us to the wrong restaurant, and that was a fiasco and the restaurant put us in a back room and with all that I forgot all about washing my hands. I proceeded to eat a burger that was great. Then I remembered I never washed my hands. No big deal, I did not get even a little sick. Immune systems are great. The common cold or the flu or the Kung Flu can get the healthiest person. So I don't push my luck.
