Good personal hygiene habits, especially hand washing habits, can serve as a firewall against many diseases. In addition to the fact that we have known since childhood that we should wash our hands before meals and after going to the toilet, are there other times when you should wash your hands but have neglected to do so? 1. Wash your hands after reading the newspaper Organic solvents such as ethanol, isopropanol, and toluene are often used in printing inks. Even the residual contents of these substances are harmful to the human body. 2. Wash your hands after taking milk or newspaper in the morning Because milk boxes and newspaper boxes are easy to breed bacteria. 3. Wash your hands after coming back from outside When you are out, your hands will inevitably come into contact with things in public places, such as door handles, elevator handrails, elevator buttons, etc. These places are where bacteria and viruses gather and are very dirty. Therefore, when you come back from outside, be sure to wash your hands before doing anything else. 4. Wash your hands after taking your wallet, banknotes, and using an ATM. 5. When dining out, don’t forget to wash your hands after looking at the menu and ordering. Because menus are really dirty, few restaurants disinfect them regularly.6. Wash your hands after using a computer, mouse, or mobile phone These are some common items that are easily overlooked but are very dirty. 7. Wash your hands after hanging clothes Dirty clothes and bacteria in the washing machine will be transferred to the clothes during the washing process. When hanging clothes to dry, your hands are likely to be contaminated with these bacteria. Clothes can eventually be disinfected by ultraviolet rays, but hands are often overlooked. 8. Wash your hands after contact with body secretions For example, covering your mouth and nose with your hands after sneezing, coughing or blowing your nose. 9. Wash your hands after contact with pets or poultry to prevent animal-related infectious diseases. 10. Wash your hands after changing diapers for babies or patients, or after handling contaminated items. |
