Until I worked in a school and was constantly getting sick, I was a 'rinser', not a washer. Now I not only wash my hands constantly, I have antibacterial hand lotion, antibacterial washless lotion in my car at all times and in public restrooms, I get my towel first, then wash and most times then use the towel to open the door.
I've read that all that washing with antibacterials is actually not a good thing, but I've taught my kids the same dilligence and they're pretty damned healthy-they barely even get mild colds.
My doctor is a constant handwasher(she will wash them no matter what the exam is, before and after) and my dentist washes then puts on the gloves.
There's one cashier at work who wears latex gloves at her register-haven't asked why yet, but seeing how people do things like try on shoes barefoot, sneeze into their hands then handle merchandise, I have a feeling why she does it.
Speaking of sneezing into hands, we need a nationwide campaign to tell folks to STOP that. Sneeze into your elbow or a tissue, please!!
