How to wash hands..or Why in the heck don't you wash your hands?!

OK. This may be a little preachy, but it's a message that must be spoken.
Handwashing, being the primary way of spreading germs, is more than a quick rinse.
lather up and scrub vigorously for at least 20 seconds, which is longer than you think. Sing the ABC's a couple of times while you do it. Or the old standy by, "one mississippi, two mississippi..."

Research has shown (ok, just my own observations, not real research) that the people who do what I call the "fingertip rinse" actually use more paper towels than people who actually wash! What that has to do with my original message, I don't know.

Love and Peace.
