Help Limit Germs Mode of Travel - Wash Your Hands!

"Did you wash your hands?" How often did you hear that as a child? How often do you hear it now? It is a proven fact that handwashing helps to limit the spread of disease and sickness.

Over the next several months, efforts are being made to limit exposure to surfaces that may transmit disease and bacteria. Hands free fixtures and paper towel dispensers are being tested to see which ones would work the best in restrooms in the schools. This will limit the spread of microbes that can cause sickness.

Along with hands free devices, a continual effort to remind all to wash their hands on a regular basis will limit sickness and the spread of disease as well. This is the most crucial aspect of limiting disease. A study out of Philadelphia highlights the truth to this handwashing necessity.

Let's all do our part by washing hands and limiting the spread of germs!
