Excerpt:<\/p>\n

“You\u2019ve surely heard it before: Wash your hands! But even if you do wash your hands after using the bathroom and before preparing or eating food, you may not be washing them thoroughly enough to prevent the spread of germs. \u201cPeople should wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, lathering the palms of hands, the backs of hands, between fingers, and under fingernails,\u201d advises Debra Hagberg, MT, CIC, director of clinical affairs for PDI<\/a> Healthcare, a leader in infection prevention products.<\/em><\/p>\n

Skimping on hand-washing can allow the spread of germs from person to person and cause yourself and others to become sick. Yet the majority of people still don\u2019t wash their hands as well as they should. \u201cAccording to a study<\/a> performed by Michigan State University in 2013, only 5 percent of people out of 3,749 individuals observed in public restrooms performed hand-washing long enough to kill germs,\u201d reports Dr. Hagberg. And not washing long enough wasn\u2019t the only negligent behavior the study found. About a third of the subjects didn\u2019t use soap, and 10 percent didn\u2019t wash at all. \u201cThe importance of hand hygiene in public health and global health cannot be understated,\u201d Dr. Hagberg insists.”<\/em><\/p>\n
