Practice Hand Hygiene for Happiness lies in your own hands!
Have you ever imagined what wonders could an education on hand hygiene and it’s maintenance ( apart from all subjects taught ) do in schools??
“Handwashing with soap could protect about 1 out of every 3 young children who get sick with diarrhea and almost 1 out of 5 young children with respiratory infections like pneumonia. No wonder if handwashing education and access to soap in schools can help improve attendance!”
Still not getting the nasty world germs create on our hands?.....Let’s have a look!
- Every 30 minutes , we expose ourselves to nearly 840,000 microorganisms only via contact through touch.
- Failing to wash hands correctly contributes to nearly 50% of all foodborne illness outbreaks.
- Damp hands are 1,000 times more likely to spread bacteria than dry hands.
- 80% of communicable diseases are transferrable just by a touch through hands.
Hence there is no argument in the fact that Hand hygiene is arguably the most important life skill. So, it needs to be taught well and taught often.
In this fast paced tech driven world where seconds soon turn to minutes which soon turn to days and years fly past…it is more important to know the crucial times when hand washing can help doubly or even triply! We need to understand there are certain times when germs, bacteria’s or viruses are at there peak and our bodies are more vulnerable to come in contact with them. Thus, prevention in those times is squarely effective. Those times are mostly:
After using the toilet , after handling rubbish or working in the garden , after handling animals , before or during and after preparing food, before eating , after using a tissue or handkerchief for sneezing or coughing , before and after attending to anyone sick.
Are you satisfied washing your hands for 5-6 seconds and then rush? Well then let me tell you when it comes to hands, fingernails and the surrounding areas harbor the most microorganisms. Hence the ideal time for handwashing is 30 sec!! Never paid attention before right ? But remember it’s never too late! Here are the important tips you should follow to render your hands completely clean and maintain perfect hand hygiene.
- Wet your hands with clean, running water. Apply soap and rub well for ideally 20 seconds.
- Rub hands together first across palms, then the back of your hands, then in between the fingers and knuckles, then your thumb. Rub your fingernails across other hand’s palm. Finally rub across your wrists.
- Rinse well under running water and make sure all traces of soap are removed. Then dry your hands for at least 6-7 seconds.
Well! Now you got the right hand hygiene. Anything left? Of course, if one understands and now want to practice perfect hand hygiene, he/she also expects for a perfect soap! ….It has been observed that liquid soaps are generally better than bar soaps.
