Washing hands is one of the simplest ways to prevent getting sick. It's an easy habit and doesn't require any special training, just soap and water, but it is probably the best way to keep germs and viruses away, and yet many people do not wash their hands frequently. Throughout the day, germs pile up on your hands (and the hands of people around you), and if you touch your eyes, nose or mouth, you may infect yourself with those germs, or you may infect those around you by touching things that they touch frequently, like doorknobs. Not washing hands also helps spread food borne illnesses like salmonella and E. coli infections, which infect as many as 76 million people in just America alone.
