Peanut butter or other skin decon methods in place of water and soap

[Pmink@bnfl-ettp.com]

Fellow RadSafers -



I've heard from some of our RCTs about using peanut butter as a decon 

method for skin contamination, particularly for Tc-99 removal.  Why does 

peanut butter work so well, other than it's sticky?  What other 

alternatives to using lukewarm water and mild soap have y'all used 

successfully?



Thanks -
