Hands, soap, water - washing hands as a superpower
Why.
- To prevent the transmission of diseases between people: A large part of contagious diseases can be transmitted through the hands.
- Eating with leftover solder is unhealthy ;-)
- last but not least to prevent getting everything dirty if you have not cleaned your paws
How?
-
wet your hands first under running water
-
soap them thoroughly: Palms, backs of hands, fingers, including thumb, with spaces between fingers and fingertips. Do not forget the fingernails.
-
rub the soap thoroughly for 20 to 30 seconds.
-
now rinse the hands thoroughly
-
dry
-
finish!
With what?
Plain water and soap. Liquid soap is better than bar soap if more than one person uses it.
How often?
- after each use of the toilet
- after changing the diapers of a small or even a big person
- after handling waste
- after touching animals
- after working with dirty things
- before every meal
- before any contact with medicines
- before and after contact with patients (for all who work with patients)
- before and after treating wounds
- In between every now and then
