I’ve been noticing a lot more hand sanitizers around my school campus so that students could kill germs on-the-go. People are still dying from the H1N1 virus, and I suppose hand sanitizers help with the germs.
But what about the old-fashioned good hand wash?
The truth is, not everyone washes their hands regularly. And when they do, they only let their hands stay under the running water for less than 30 seconds (notice how long someone washes their hands and you will agree). According to Beverly Bitterman RN, we should all wash our hands for one minute. That’s a long time…
