Simply Healthy #7

When washing your hands, don't skip the soap.  Rinsing them with water alone, even hot water, doesn't get rid of bacteria and viruses.  Scrub your hands for 15 to 20 seconds, then dry them thoroughly, as germs attach more readily to, and multiply more quickly on, moist surfaces.  Then turn off the faucet with a paper towel, since that handle is often the dirtiest thing in a restroom.  If there isn't any soap, use the mini sanitizer you keep in your bag/purse.
