It’s come to my attention that most of us are not spending enough time when we wash our hands.
\nHere’s a tip to help you. As you wash, sing “Happy Birthday” to yourself twice. If you’re going to be doing food preparation, sing it four times.
\nThe Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety<\/a> suggests that you wash your hands:
\nafter using the washroom (includes changing diapers),
\nbefore and after eating or handling food,
\nafter touching raw meat, poultry, or fish,
\nafter handling garbage,
\nvisiting sick people,
\nhandling infected animals.
\nTo prevent the spread of germs, avoid touching your eyes, mouth or nose.
\nThe U.S. Center for Disease Control<\/a> gives these guidelines for hand washing:
\nFirst wet your hands and apply liquid or clean bar soap. Place the bar soap on a rack and allow it to drain.
\nNext rub your hands vigorously together and scrub all surfaces.
\nContinue for 10 – 15 seconds or about the length of a little tune. It is the soap combined with the scrubbing action that helps dislodge and remove germs.
\nRinse well and dry your hands.
\nTwo other suggestions to consider, take off your rings, and be sure to clean them occasionally, and when preparing food, use a one-use, disposible towel or paper towel to dry your hands.
\nAnd, I’m sure that my dermatologist, if she read this, would say: USE HAND LOTION if you are washing your hands when you will not be preparing food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
