You’ve heard it from your mom since you were little- no matter what you get into, it is important to wash your hands when you are done. Keeping your hands clean is the one of the best ways to keep all of those colds and viruses that are going around from entering your system. Your hands come into contact with tons of surfaces that are ripe with bacteria, such as door handles, cell phones, countertops, and bannisters, and you use those same hands to eat sandwiches or touch your face. If your hands are clean, you are less likely to come down with that notorious bug that is going around your office or school.
