Wash Those Hands

Sisters,

Thank God for hands. Without them there are so many things that you wouldn’t be able to do. You greet with a hand shake. You cook, eat, pick up things, open doors, click onto my website (well you did), and so much more.

You need to take care of your hands. You need to keep them clean. Keeping your hands clean is one of the most important steps you can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Many diseases and conditions spread by failing to wash hands with soap and clean running water.

Always be sure to wash your hands thoroughly when you come into the house from outside, before eating, after using the toilet, changing a diaper, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing, touching garbage, pets, raw chicken or anything that might transfer germs.

Washing your hands with soap and water is the best way to reduce the number of germs on them in most situations. If soap and water are not available, you may use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Seriously, hand-washing can be like a do-it-yourself vaccine. It includes five simple and effective steps: wet, lather, scrub, rinse and dry. It’s just that easy. So wash your hands often and avoid spreading germs. It’s quick and simple and it can help keep you and others from getting sick. Hand-washing is a win for everyone, except the germs. WASH THOSE HANDS!
