I work with small children so I wash my hands a lot. I've been working on teaching them to do the same.
I've worked in food preparation in the past and so I am a bit obsessive about handwashing during the cooking process. Outside of the kitchen and cooking, I wash my hands after using the restroom and after handling anything gross. I also wash them several times while I am working because the kids almost always have runny noses or something that I have to wipe or handle.
I try to avoid using antibacterial anything (handsoap, wipes, toothpaste) because I'm allergic to most strong antibiotics and I would like to keep my ability to use amoxicillin instead of the ones that make me extremely sick. Similarly, I avoid taking antibiotics unless I really really need to.
