20 Seconds Is What it Takes

A single gram of human feces ”which is about the weight of a paper clip” can contain one trillion germs.

Estimated global rates of handwashing after using the toilet are only 19 percent.

If that doesn’t make you become a hand-washer, then keep reading!

People frequently touch their eyes, nose and mouth without even realizing it. In fact, according to one study, the average is 23 times/hour. Germs get into the body through the eyes, nose and mouth and make us sick.

Germs from unwashed hands can get into foods and drinks, and can multiply in some types of foods or drinks, under certain conditions, and make people sick.

Handwashing with soap could protect about 1 out of every 3 young children who get sick with diarrhea and almost 1 out of 5 young children with respiratory infections like pneumonia, the top two killers of children around the world.
