The findings of the observational study conflicted with the findings of a separate telephone survey of about one thousand people. Ninety-six percent of them said they always wash their hands after using public restrooms.
Almost nine out of ten also said they always wash after using the bathroom at home.
Hand washing can help prevent the spread of many different infections.
To clean your hands well, wet them first and rub in soap for at least twenty seconds, including between the fingers and under the nails.
Then rinse under running water. In a public restroom, if you dry your hands with a paper towel, you should also use the towel to shut off the water and open the door.
Hand washing is also important when preparing food and after changing a baby's diaper. You should also wash if you cough or sneeze into your hands.
If you use an alcohol-based product instead of soap and water, make sure it contains at least sixty percent alcohol.
And that’s the VOA Special English Health Report, written by Caty Weaver. I’m Bob Doughty.
