Handwashing Is Prevention



That old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" cannot be more true when it comes to handwashing. The Center For Disease Control has stated that proper handwashing is a good way to prevent disease. Most germs are not pathogens or disease-causing. Germs like viruses, bacteria, some spores, and fungi are. Using automatic, touchless soap dispensers eliminate contamination .

When to Wash

Before eating, before and after handling food, after touching animals and their leashes, when someone is sick, after changing a diaper, touching blood or bodily fluids(saliva,nasal fluid, vomit) ,after using the bathroom, after touching trash, soil, or cleaning cloths. and before inserting contact lenses, giving medicine, and dressing wounds. Wash your hands to stay healthy
