Friction, Baby

After witnessing several different people at my work half-heartedly wash their hands after using the restroom, not only was I appalled, but I thought, “This is an opportunity for teaching.” What is the most important thing about the process of washing your hands? Is it the soap? Is it warm water? No, my friends, it is actually the friction, so dousing your hands under the water without even rubbing them together, isn’t doing much. In this season most dominantly controlled by the flu and its different variations, please don’t be afraid to let your hands get to know each other by feeling each other up as you are washing them. My non-diseased ears, nose, lungs, and throat all thank you.
