It amazes me how many people do not wash their hands especially after going to the bathroom. Or those people that only wash their hands in public restrooms but not when they are at home. That is so disgusting. It is not rocket science to know that washing your hands is one of the easiest, most effective and free ways to prevent germs, sickness with yourself, children and adults. I know a few people who are always sick and their children are always sick and I know for a fact that they do not wash their hands after going to the bathroom at home. It makes me nauseous just thinking about the idea that they then prepare food, touch door knobs, touch their face or their children's face or just touch anything at all! It is a huge guarantee that if you do not wash your hands after going to the bathroom, you are going to get sick and get others sick and get your children sick. There is no excuse for not washing your hands ever!! These days we even have fancy hand sanitizer if you are stuck. Even using water to wash your hands is better then not washing them all. Here is our rule of thumb for hand washing:
- Always wash your hands upon entering your home
- Always wash your hands prior to preparing or serving food
- Always, always wash your hands after going to the bathroom, even if you did not use the toilet!
Bottom line....Do not be gross and just wash your hands!
