The importance of washing your hands Washing your hands properly is the most effective thing you can do to protect yourself against a number of contagious diseases such as influenza, common cold, and ebola. Not only will it help keep you healthy, it will also help prevent the spread of contagious diseases to others.

 Even if your hands appear to be clean, they may carry germs. Hands pick up micro-organisms (germs) in a number of ways.  When people who are sick sneeze or cough, the germs that make them sick are released into the air in tiny droplets. If these droplets get onto your hands and then you touch your mouth, eyes, or nose without washing away the germs, you may contract the infection. You can also get sick if you don’t wash your hands before or after preparing food, after handling raw meat, and after using the toilet.  Washing your hands not only helps prevent you from getting sick, but it also reduces the risk of infecting others. If you don’t wash your hands properly before coming into contact with others, you can infect them with the germs on your hands. People can also get sick from the germs that unwashed hands leave on shared objects like doorknobs, keyboards, or other equipment in the home or workplace. Hand-to-hand contact can spread mild conditions such as the common cold, but also more severe or life threatening diseases. Infectious diseases are a particular risk to the very young, the elderly, and people with a compromised immune system such as those with HIV or AIDS.

Although hand washing might seem to be a simple task, you should follow these steps to thoroughly rid your hands of germs: 

1 Wash your hands continously with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

2 Wash the front and back of your hands, as well as between your fingers and under your nails.

3 Rinse your hands well under warm running water using a rubbing motion.

4 Wipe and dry your hands gently with a clean towel.

Adults and older children should teach younger children how to wash their hands properly and supervise them while they are washing their hands.

 

EXERCISE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.

1 What is the most effective way to prevent contagious diseases?

2 Give two examples of contagious diseases.

3 Give two reasons why hand washing is important.

4 Name two ways by which someone can get sick from other people.

5 Which people get contagious diseases more easily from other sick people?
