The 10 Times When You Need To Be Washing Your Hands (But You Aren’t!)

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

#8 – After leaving the pharmacy

Where do most sick people go? Obviously, they go to hospitals and pharmacies. But the latter is where sanitizing doesn’t happen very often, and where sick hands have been touching the pen attached to the touchpad or the one at the counter.

You could be touching a surface that someone with a stomach virus has touched before you or someone with a strep throat. In any case, make sure to wash your hands right after you pick up your prescription and don’t touch anything else that you do not need.

#9 – After visiting the doctor’s office

This is another place where sick people are found the most. The second you arrive there, you will have to touch many places, especially when you sign in. The pen in the counter that you need to use has already been touched by many sick people who, clearly, have left most of their germs in there. Let alone the counter, the bathroom door, the seat, etc.

So make sure to always wash your hands after seeing the doctor because you don’t want to end up with more illnesses.

#10 – After loading the dishwasher

As you carry the dirty dishes into the dishwasher from the sink, you would be touching a lot of dirty things, and since the sink is all about water and moisture, those dirty plates have already created a perfect room for the bacteria to grow.

So as you are loading the dishwasher, you will be touching a countless number of germs, especially from plates that handled raw meat. So, right after you finish the loading, wash your hands immediately and protect yourself from any dangerous disease that may occur.
