do you wash your hands on a regular with so many germs going around?

I always wash my hands, sometimes with soap or hand wash if they are available. It's just a habit to wash hands always, especially before we eat or after we touch certain dirty things. I especially do not like to touch the notes or coins, because I think they are dirty. I always want to wash my hands after touching the money.

i am one who serves the sick.being with sick people causes my immunity to be low at times,so i take precautions,one is by regularly washing my hands.

I wash my hands all the time plus use Purell hand sanitizer. I work in a child setting where you wipe alot of running noses. I use Purell every time after I have wiped a childs nose and I use Purell after comimg out of stores and I wash my hands after using the restroom and I try to use my elbow to open doors if possible not my hands.

Keyboards and grocery cart handles are the nastiest things we come in contact with. I try to wash my hands regularly, and try to avoid putting my hands near my face, but I usually wind up doing it anyway.

i do wash my hands like about 5 times a day mostly or even more. cause in my place i need to keep my hands clean. it is part of my life here at home. i make sure if i touch things before i touch food that i hvae to wash my hands first specially if i touch money and other dirty things.

i always practice the habit of washing my hands..most especially before eating meals.. we shouldn't dare to forget to wash our hands as it will help you remove the germs and prevent getting any disease..

I do wash my hands after using the toilet and try to grab the handle using a tissue which I do throw away soon afterwards since I am wary that most people do not wash their hands afterwards. © ronaldinu 2008

Um yah I wash my hands after using the toilet.. always. I also work in food services so I am constantly washing my hands. I sneeze and cough into my elbow as to not contaminate my hands.

Even if we often wash our hands the flu virus can still attack us.You are right that using public computers is an easy source in catching colds.Because I always see costumers with colds sneezing using their bare hands to cover their mouth and nose.And the poor computer keys get contaminated and so is the next computer user.

hi annjilena, i wash hand before meals, after going to toilet and during bath of course ... and i guess during cooking and washing dishes , i wash hands as well cheers

Hi annjilena, Our hands are the carrier of germs. To avoid some health problem i have the habbit of washing my hands before and after eating and After using the toilet. It is better to be safe than sorry. so keep away from those harmful bacteria. Happy posting.

oh i see people doing this all the time using the batroom and not washing their hands and just going in the kitchen and preparing food without washing their hand.now this can really make you sick doing this.also people coughing and spreading germs all over the place.

I am constantly washing my hands.I worked in a hospital for several years and that enviorment trains you to do so. If you stop and think about it it is amazing how many germs get on your hands. Hand sanitizer is my best friend, I carry it in my purse all the time. One of the most needed places for hand sanitizer in my opinion is department store buggies. I seen the other day that Kroger had installed a giant container of anti bacterial wipes to wipe off the handle of the buggy! I love it! LOL

Well i do wash my hands on most of the occasions that you mentioned but i never thought about taking my hands to my mouth after typing. I see now that my keyboard is a lot of dusty. But i think we should play with a bit of dirt. Cause if we dont, then our resistance power will become low and we won't be able to fight even small diseases... What say ??? Happy mylotting...

no I dont always wash my hands like I guess I shoulod just mostly before I start to cook and after bathroom use . If I sneeze out in public I do cover my mouth. Not cauight nothing yrt knock on wood .

Whether I have a cold or not my hands are washed a lot during the day and even at night. The hands are bad for spreading germs and so to keep that from happening they should be washed on a regular basis. So along with the hand washing I use a whole lot of hand lotion because I wash my hands so much that they get dry especially in the winter time.

Washing hands regularly..... this is a highly sensitive question..... I had never thought of doing that except before eating and having dirt in hands.... I know, but I had never thought of washing hands everytime..... but, this discussion made me to think a while..... so, from now onwards..... I am going to wash my hands regularly...... thanks for the wonderful discussion......

I always wash my hands with hand soap whenever im outside i always bring hand sanitizer in my bag just in case water is nt available. We are exposed with too much germs, so we should keep ourself clean at all times.

Yes, I do wash my hands and if I do not have any water by I use hand sanitizer.

I wash my hands many times a day because there are many germs in the lot of things we touch all the days like, money, books, doors and things like that. And these are the ones that cause us sick when we doesnt wash our hands!! Have a nice day and hope you will have a very good week ;) see you soon and bye bye :D
