Hello everyone,
Being a outgoing guy, most of the time I will be out at the public and something that really disgust me - people who didn't' wash their hands after they use the toilet. The next thing you know, you see them shaking hands with people on the street. It is really very disgusting.
How about you guys? Do you wash your hands after using the toilet and how do you feel about those people who didn't wash their hands after using the toilet?

Yucky...of course, one has to wash her/his hands after using the toilet. According to a world-wide research, washing hands is the most simple, and effective way to avoid infection. Those seemingly clean hands are teeming with hundreds of microscopic bacteria, which are not visible through the naked eye.
A culture of the wiping of those hands would yield a fair number of colonies of bacteria. And they could either be pathogenic or non-pathogenic. But who wants to take the chance? Not me....

Hello Jenaisle,
You sure are knowledgeable, seems like you read a lot. Yes, our hands are one of the dirtiest part of our body. We should all make it a effort to keep it clean at all time to get rid of all the bacteria that is there!

Hello Lynnchua,
I am glad you do, so at least I know there are people who are conscious about being hygienic.

Hello bbsr13,
Same for me too, it is the same reason why I refused to eat finger food - unless I am the only one who is enjoying it.

I certainly do... and I dont eats peanuts/snacks that are in dishes in bars because there will be people dipping into them who will not have washed their hands! There's no excuse for not washing them. I work in a hospital so I am very aware of how easily infections are transmitted.

Hello Wizzzywig,
Infections sure can be transmitted easily - especially with those people around. Maybe the Government should impose a law to make hand-washing necessary to safeguard the community from getting those nasty disease.

That's disgusting. Really, I can understand how you imagine all those tiny critters passing from hand to hand. I usually wash my hands, but I always carry in my bag a small bottle of hand sanitizer and I use this if I can't wash my hands.

Hello Polaris714,
Wow, you actually carry a bottle of hand sanitizer with you all the time? You are definitely a very hygienic person and I think the local newspaper should interview you and showcase you as a role model in your community.

I hate shaking hands with anyone. The person I shake with might have washed their hands, but what about the people they have shook with before me? If they shake hands with a non and washer they can pass the germs on to everyone else.

Of course. It would be very disgusting if I don't wash my hands after using toilet and I will meet my friends outside and then you will hold them and something like that. Its best to wash hands after using toilet and make this as a habit in order to be healthy and stay safe away from germs.
