[QUOTE="Andy, post: 268179, member: 5096"] Yes, dollar bills are the fastest way to spread germs. They are handled by lots and lots of people in the course of a day. I very seldom get sick and I contribute that to handwashing. I wash my hands a lot. When you do wash, wash up to past your wrists. (were you wear a watch). Scrub between fingers. You are suppose to use the finger brushes also but I would only use those at home - I would think public brushes would be gross (a lot of them look like they should be thrown out)and carry all the germs scrubbed from the previous how many hands. So, make sure you are daily cleaning under your fingernails. I just don't get how people can walk out of the bathroom stall right past the sink and not have their hands "feel" icky! (I think we have had this conversation before) When you cough, cough into the inside of your elbow. Coughing into your hand just sends those lovely little germs right where they want to be for faster distribution. Also as mentioned before, do not use your hand to wipe anything on your face. When using a kleenex, use a new one for each part of your face. For example do not use the same kleenex to wipe your right eye as you just did to wipe your left eye. You may think you are using the opposite corner but that corner may just have picked up something from your hand. [/QUOTE]
