Lmao! That’s a nice way to put it!
The alcohol in the sanitizers evaporates very quickly (much quicker than water), it absorbs heat from your hands and leaves it colder than your normal temperature. This might be a familiar feeling to cool wind blowing on your hands, that might feel like breathing maybe?
