Lupe Hernández

|
Lupe Hernández is an American nurse who, as a student nurse in 1966, invented the now ubiquitous hand sanitizer. The existence of this person is disputed and some claim that the Lupe Hernandez in question was a man and not a woman. Hernández invented the hand sanitizer while a student nurse in Bakersfield, California in 1966, discovering that a substance with 60-65% alcohol could become a cleanser without the need for water and soap. While little biographical information is available, if alive, she should be in her mid-70s. It has also been reported that Lupe Hernandez is male, although the veracity of this claim cannot be verified. Nevertheless, there is no ascertainable information about even the existence of such Lupe Hernández and nobody has a record of such a patent file, so it looks like this story is nothing more than an urban legend. It has no documental support even in Bakersfield Museum. |
