Today on the Regis and Kelly Show, Dr. Greg Yapalater demonstrated the proper way to wash one's hands in order to remove germs. According to the doctor, one should use warm water, wash for 20 seconds, and dry with a paper towel instead of cloth which retains moisture.
Next his quiz revealed these facts:
*Among personal items, lipstick contains the most germs.
*Germs enter the body mainly through the mouth.
*Women's hands have more germs than men's hands.
*The occupation that exposes one to the most germs is teaching.
*33% of Americans leave the restroom without washing their hands.
The Center For Disease Control states that simple handwashing can prevent illness.
Hands free soap and towel dispensers along with automatic faucets avoid germs.
