clean hands save lives!

"Proper handwashing is the single most effective method to prevent nosocomial [hospital-related] infections." ~from Fundamentals of Nursing

...such a simple lesson, yet so often over-looked. I would assume it prevents most illnesses in the home, too.

There is more to hand washing than you think! We've been taught a 12-step process to hand-washing. My beef is, "why didn't they teach this in kindergarten? Why am I now just hearing about the proper Hand-Hygiene Technique?!"
