Are you washing you hands??!!



Recently there's tis on going infection campaign held in my hospital.Above is an emphasis to show the importance of handwashing! Yeah most of the time,we do not know how much bacteria we are carrying on our hands,even as some of us may not be staying in a place where risks of infection are low.However, i feel people should come to another level of personal hygiene!!

Example like how we have been taught to wash our hands before & after meal in our primary school. It somehow cultivated me to develop such habits. Some that know me well will know my practice,of washing or swabbing my hands before every meal.Haha but i am not ashame of it,whenever it comes to personal hygiene,i am quite particular towards it,not just because i am a nurse & it become part of the habit, it's because i do not want to consume the food together with the germs!!!Yew!

Yeah,now in the work place i have got to proceed to 7 steps of handwashing, oh man never taught there's so much steps for a handwashing right? But i tell you, other than the strong chlorhexidine soap which makes the hand dry,is fun washing! You feel more confident of the cleanliness,you can prevent breakouts as often, prevent stomach upset,cos some of the time food poisoning is not just to do with the food itself,but our hands as well!!=)
