Do you wash your hands at all ?


Washing your hands is just as important as drinking water because it can protect us especially our young ones against infections and diseases. Even the ancient people believe that washing of your hands is therapeutic. Why do you think the muslims will always wash their hands, legs, mouth ? It makes them clean  and confident.
Washing of your hands is very effective. It has prevented the spread of many types of germs and it is still preventing . Germs are everywhere in your room, parlour, kitchen, road, hospitals ,schools e.t.c. and we are vulnerable to them. Clean hands can do wonders.
Its so sad that many people don't wash their hands even after visiting the toilet. After the use of Toilet Roll they feel they are good to go. Do you do these ? Stop it and wash your hands after using the toilet.
Right time to wash your hands
- Wash your hands before eating... Don't be in a haste to eat with dirty hands. If not ?
- Before preparing food .... These could prevent contamination of food with microorganisms like Vibrio cholera.
- Very important....After caring for a sick person and /or treating of wound, wash your hands.
- After using the toilet or changing your childs or your aunty's or uncle's  daughter's diapers.
- After you dispose your waste and touching  animals like goats, dogs.. Many  people especially children after playing with their pet animal,  rarely wash their hands. Its very bad. Do you know that one can contact Bacillus anthracis  when in contact with a goat. Be careful.
-When you sneeze or cough, wash your hands

Note : Always wash your hand with clean water and soap, wash off and dry your hands.
