Wash Your Hands
Most of us know to wash our hands after using the restroom to prevent the spread of germs, but washing hands throughout the day is also necessary to stop the spread of germs and to clean away the transfer of germs from other people.
Regular handwashing helps prevent the spread of germs because:
Germs can enter the body through the eyes, nose, and mouth, and touching these parts of the body with dirty hands can cause the spread of those germs.
Germs can get into foods and drinks when someone with dirty hands prepares or consumes them.
Germs can be transferred to other objects, like doorknobs, handrails, table tops, or toys, and then transferred to another person’s hands.
Germs can cause digestive distress and respiratory infections.
To ensure that you are getting properly clean each time you wash your hands, wash with warm water, and make sure you get a good lather with your soap.
Wash in between fingers, rinse, and don’t forget to dry hands with a CLEAN towel.
You can stop the transfer of germs to yourself and others by being conscious of how often you soap up!
I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!
