I believe many friends have the habit of going to the toilet to wash their hands before and after meals, but there must be quite a few people who often "forget" to wash their hands. The ancestors always said that illness comes from the mouth, but in fact, in a strict sense, it comes from the hand. As the most important tool and organ of human beings, the hand has taken on too much work. If you don't keep your hands clean in time, it is very easy to get sick from the mouth and eventually knock down your health.

According to statistics, 81% of contagious diseases are spread by hand contact. The so-called hand transmission is not only shaking hands with others or touching other people's bodies, helping yourself with food, touching exposed organs such as eyes, nose and mouth, etc., but also may transmit bacteria or viruses to the body, causing harm to health.

The most common diarrhea in daily life is that infected hands or tableware are used to touch food, and then pathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli, enter the mouth with the food. The main route of transmission is through hands and mouth, as well as colds, pneumonia, flu, etc. Many of them are infected by touching the face with infected hands.

in order to reduce the incidence of these diseases, the first thing we should do is to wash our hands well. The data show that as long as we wash our hands well, the incidence of stubborn diarrhea and gastrointestinal diseases will drop by more than 51%, and the incidence of respiratory diseases such as colds and pneumonia will also drop by more than 25%.

So when should we all wash our hands well?

1. If you are in charge of cooking, you should have a thorough hand washing when you start preparing food, and if you are only in charge of eating, it is very important to wash your hands well before serving.

2. Wash your hands after going to the toilet

3. Wash your hands after blowing your nose, sneezing and coughing

4. Wash your hands before and after changing diapers for children

5. Wash your hands after touching pets or pet droppings
