Hand washing is the most effective way of reducing the transmission of communicable disease.
We learn many of our lifelong habits, including hand washing, as children. Students learned the importance of washing their hands when Diane Mincher , Nutrition and Food Specialist, presented Wash Your Hands and the Germs Stop Here , an interactive handwashing exhibit at Enosburg Elementary School s health fair on March 22. Through the use of a Glow Germ kit, a white powder is used that glows under UV light when improper hand washing has taken place. Children practiced the correct hand washing procedure that included twenty seconds of lathering hands with soap by counting or singing a hand washing song. Children were amazed how long twenty seconds are and that the hidden germs were still present on their hands, especially around fingernails.
