Why Make Such A Big
Deal Out Of Handwashing?
These organisms that cannot be seen with thenaked eye are powerful and given theopportunity, they will infect you.
They can make you very sick. They are not concerned about who they infect so
everyone is at risk. The young, old and those witha compromised immune system are particularly at
risk. Even if you dont get sick from some germs youpick up, the person you spread it to could haveserious complications.
