Wash Your Hands!

Your momma told you to wash  your hands, now I'm telling you to.  Why should you listen, and doesn't everyone already know that hands get dirty and need washing?

It's not that simple, unfortunately. 

HOW do you wash you hands?  What is the technique? Or, is there a technique?
Does it really matter?

Like a lot of things that make up the daily grind of life, there actually are techniques you can employ after you learn them.  These will make your life better, because once you learn and apply proper form, the little bugs that bug you just won't have a chance. 

Dive into my sink, and learn all about hand washing and why it's vital to your health and well-being. 

Germs, baby.  Lots of them.  Billions upon billions of the infectious, disease spreading microorganisms populate the planet and we are their unwitting carriers.  There's no escaping their presence, and they live to infect their host (you!).

During Covid, everyone went crazy with gloves, masks, face shields.  If you didn't operate a business considered "essential" you were told to close.  This was all in response to advice from the CDC.  We weren't sure what was going on, really, so precautions were taken.

Do you remember how often the tables were wiped down and how far away you had to stay from other humans during that time?  Today, are tables wiped down as often?  No even.  It's like hygiene was something forced upon a restaurant, followed at the threat of being shut down. 

So why were tables wiped down with disinfectant so frequently, and why are signs posted in bathroom lavatories reading, "Employees must wash hands before leaving the washroom?  Quite simply, because hands are the great spreaders of disease.
