Hand washing

[Catlady711]

Someone told me to sing Happy Birthday while washing. That's how long we should take to wash our hands, however long it takes us to sing the song.

I had read that it was the ABC's, so that's what I sing. lol

Actually I've read articles that say because of the anti-bacterial everything (shampoos, soaps, lotions, etc) that people are getting sicker because they have no immunity to the bacteria, and it kills off good bacteria by using it so much.

I always wash my hands with soap and for a good amount of time but I'm nowhere near a germ freak. I probably don't wash as good in the middle of the night, and sometimes at work if I know I'm gonna be sticking my hands in a bucket of ammonia chloride when I get out of the bathroom I'll not be so diligent on washing. I have poor circulation so if the water is warm I'll take a few minutes to wash my hands just for the heat value.

DUDE.

After working in a hospital for a while I got to know that it's one of the places where you can and will get anykind of ailment.

My office was next door to the restroom and I was well acquainted with people's habits.

MY office was in the anesthesiologist's area -some weren't bad, others??

The people that gross me out and make me want to kick them in the groin are the stupid men who use a cell at a urinal. They stand there and when the phone rings they HAVE TO STOP, pull the phone out and answer it.


Frigging nasty to think what the germ transfer is from their crotch to the keypad. MORONS!

I voted yes but not all the time...because the middle of the night potty runs don't get hand washings.
