Do you always wash your hands before you eat?

I normally do that.|||Hell yeah!! i am a hand wash junkie!!! I hate the thought of people not washing their hands. When my uncle is visiting, he will touch my kettle etc, after going to the toilet and not washing his hands!! eeeewww...

When do you wash your hands?

I happen to have delicious soap, so I wash my hands every chance I get.. But I am seriously wondering about this, because I very often see guys walk out of a toilet without having bothered.|||I always wash my hands after using the restroom, changing the baby%26#039;s diaper, going out shopping (you know...after touching all that stuff that other people,who have NOT washed their hands, have touched), after a visit to the doctor%26#039;s office, after gardening .....oh! and after cleaning up dog poop!





Say.................maybe I should try your %26quot;delicious%26quot; soap?? :)~





mb|||please keep washing !!!!!! everyone should as much as possible i wished more people were like you|||everytime i leave the bathroom, wait to turn the water off with the paper towl i used to dry my hands, and open the door with it too. i%26#039;m always washing my hands, after touching different foods when cooking, picking up garbage, before i touch clean clothes in the dryer...|||I work with food and have worked in the medical field so it has been engrained in me to wash my hands often especially after the toilet, after touching my hair, after petting animals, before eating. People who have the availability of water and soap shjould really utilize it because it cuts down on germs that can cause sickness. I have lived in places where there isn%26#039;t as much running water and these places also have serious health problems.|||are do my dogs grooming and before eating or handling food|||guys will always be guys, right?|||before and after handling food ad after i m done in the bathroom|||i wash my hands after i smoke, before i eat, after going to the store , after going to the gas station, after going to the bathroom, after touchin food, after touching someone else, after all has been touched. pretty much|||You should wash your hands EVERY time they have come into contact with an organism carrying bacteria AND ALWAYS before you plan to put your hands on or in your mouth, eyes, nose, etc.


Bacteria is everywhere. Sneezing, coughing, sweat, fruits and vegetables, door handles, kitchen counters and bathrooms and so much more carry thousands of bacteria that multiply in warm environments. By not washing your hands when they may have come into contact with one of these organisms, you could be spreading E.choli, salomenella, and other nasty germs. So take care of yourself and others by eliminating these germs whenever possible!|||I%26#039;m 61 yrs old and i wash my hands whenever i think i could have even goten close to anything nasty, such as, after using a restroom ,shaking hands,wiping my nose or mouth,and using a door knob or handle to open a door,shopping carts or sneezing, in other words anything that comes in contact with the filth of humans.. SORRY IF I OFFEND YOU NASTY FOLKS !!! Just kiss my grits...!!!|||I don%26#039;t wash my hands, the dirt falls off in time and can only get SO dirty.|||I always wash my hands after an appointment with the porcelan throne. You run the risk of serious illness if you don%26#039;t.|||its even worse when you see a woman do it. Wash all the time. Alot of germs pass by our hands. Think of when you say hi to someone with a handshake...where has that hand been???|||I have a compulsive disorder when it comes to washing my hands I wash my hands many many times a day I could never walk out of a bathroom without washing my hands but|||i wash my hands before i go in and when i come out too.|||Most people are poor, hence dirty, hence do not wash hands.





I wash my hands because I%26#039;m morally superior.|||Walk out of a toilet without having cleaned your hand is a nasty and danger habit.


We must wash our hands after any job we do, before and after toilet, before and after eating or preparing meals. When we come back home and before sleeping.


We must wash our hands every change we have (as you say).|||I have asked this question before, and got bashed by the clean dudes. Most guys do not wash their hands after pee, or poop.|||Ew gross. Sometimes I wash my hands two or three times after coming out of the washroom, just to make sure all the germs I didn%26#039;t catch the first time go away. I also wash my hands before cooking, before eating, and after I%26#039;m done cleaning. I probably wash my hands about 10 times a day. Ever since SARS, I%26#039;ve been washing my hands ALL THE TIME!|||I wash my hands about 15 times a day, at least. I work in a doctor%26#039;s office, and I don%26#039;t want to take a chance on catching anything. I think it is disgusting when people don%26#039;t wash their hands after using the restroom.|||after i take a tinkle and and wake up or after work.|||before i cook , after the toilet and after being in the garden


i use the liquid soap and love the differnt aroma%26#039;s - sometimes I like to make bubles from them too!





one time at the dentist I saw him pick his nose and he didn%26#039;t wash his hands afterwards and he was going to work on me so I asked him to wash first - he did and he was also embarrassed|||i dont very much if im coming out of a restroom with wet hands its cause i pissed on em|||when they get dirty








and I suppose washing them with animal fat makes them clean|||never it just wastes my time it is so gay when you see people wash their hands|||I go downstairs for some hot milk, and here you are asking about mens bathroom habits...





I am giving you 30mins tops, so you%26#039;d better get to work! I%26#039;m not going to have sweet dreams reading these replys!!!|||It is the sanitary thing to do. Your hands make contact with everything. Plus after you wash your hands in the restroom do you then reach for the door handle when you go out? Because it is crawling with bacteria, from those guys who don%26#039;t wash. Open it with a piece of paper towel.

When you wash your hands, how often do you finish washing even before you feel the hot water?

some faucets in public just take forever to wait for the hot water ?!?|||I%26#039;ve got OCD when it comes to cleaning my hands. I wash them BEFORE I go to the bathroom and after. Typically I will do two rounds of soap and rinsing, and I always carry anti-bacterial gel with me.





In fact, I%26#039;ve installed anti-bacterial gel dispensers all around my office so folks can grab a pump at random times.





The amount of germs spread via people%26#039;s hands, door knobs, and remote controls is very significant. |||i NEVER use hot water, just soap and cold water. the hot water from the faucet is NOT hot enough to kill germs anyway. |||2 out of 3 times the hot never comes.|||if i want to wash with warm or hot water, i usually zone out till i realize the water is hot.|||I never start, until the water is hot!|||I wait for it to get hot, I hate cold water. Unless I%26#039;m drinking it. |||I%26#039;ll wait until it gets at least a little warm, maybe 30 seconds or something|||I feel it when I turn it on.|||all the time - I%26#039;m impatient|||i am usually done before it gets warm too|||Never I always leave crap on my hands after I doo doo. |||never, I always wait on the hot water.|||Never - you might as well not bother.|||i cant stand waiting

When you wash your hands?

You turn on the sink with the handle, then wash your hands, then turn off the sink with the handle again, doesn%26#039;t that just get all those germs back onto your hands?|||Excellent question. When i worked in the hospital, we had those handles you can operate with your arms, but you do not have those at home normally. I love Clorox wipes for this reason. Or Lysol wipes.....whatever. I get out a wipe, turn on the faucet, wash your hands, wipe the faucet and turn off the faucet. Of course, you need to know, I worked in the medical field a long time and I might be overly cautious.|||theoretically, yes. however, if your hands are THAT dirty you should try wiping the handle off before shutting off the water, or spray it with a disinfectant before touching it. the germs that are on your hands are not necessarily all bad, and if you kill them all, your body will not have the immunity built up to resist any disease/infection/illness that might occur.

Is it bad for you to hanlde guns and ammunition and not wash your hands right after?

i read text on ammo boxes saying that the lead in it can cause birth defects and other problems. but it seems like alot of people dont pay attention to things like that. so is it bad to handle a gun and not wash.|||LOL.





Miketyson26|||Wear surgical gloves, and you won%26#039;t have to be concerned about washing your hands.*!!|||It%26#039;s always a good idea to wash off after handling ammo or lead residue. The risk depends on how often you are exposed. If you handle it every day, best to get in the practice of washing frequently.





This is not something to become obsessed over, but hygene is a good practice anyways.|||OSHA standards require a cross wind or air flow of a certain mile per hour draft for an indoor range. Lead particulates from fired rounds, can be inhaled and cleaning solvent alone can enter the human body through the skin and a combination of lead and cleaning solvent can ,with a lot of exposure, pose some risk.





Several manufacturers have made %26quot;plastic%26quot; clad lead bullets that mostly eliminate indoor airborne lead. I suppose to a very small degree, picking up a lead round could transfer some lead matter into a humans system but it is usually not that easy. The ablation process from firing a round does make lead more airborne.





If you shoot a typical 50 rounds of handgun ammo, once a month outdoors and then clean you gun, you should be safe. Odds are you get much more lead in your system from contact with other items such as old paint , the water you drink etc.





Yep, living on earth is hazardous to your health and no one gets off the planet alive.|||Yes, you will be exposing yourself to lead possibly by ingesting it.|||I always wash my hands off after I handle or clean guns and after handling ammunition. It%26#039;s just like the habit of washing your hands after using the bathroom.|||To be absolutey safe, it would be best to wash your hands after handling any lead containing material. /That would include ammunition and any gun that had been fired. Admittedly, the hazard is not all that great but lead is a cumulative toxin and while you may not acquire enough from one exposure to cause you to become sick, can acquire enough over time to become toxic. Why take the chance when it is so easy to simply wash your hands after handling a fired gun or some ammo. Better safe than sorry.|||Handling the firearm itself isn%26#039;t going to harm you, you might pick up some gun oil from it, so it doesn%26#039;t hurt to wash up afterwords. As for andling lead bulletts? Yes, you should alwasy wash up afterwords. The limited exposure you would get from it isn%26#039;t that big a deal, but lead toxicity is cummulative, so if you handle it a lot, it can build to toxic levels. Better to use a little soap and hot water than to chance a problem.|||%26quot;Is it bad for you to hanlde guns and ammunition and not wash your hands right after?%26quot;





Yes.





Your hands become coated with powder and bullet residues after firing. There are toxic chemicals in the residue. It would be bad to rub such chemicals into the eyes, nose, mouth and etc.


Same is true of the lubricants and cleaning solutions used on firearms. It would be best to wash oneself after exposure to such chemicals.|||Don%26#039;t use hot water when washing your hands, that%26#039;s a mistake. Use cold water. Hot water can open up pores and the lead can be absorbed that way.





Always wash your hands afterwards. Don%26#039;t %26quot;macho%26quot; it out, like some people do with hearing protection, as well. The people who don%26#039;t pay attention aren%26#039;t exposed to it enough to learn a harsh lesson. I work at an indoor range, and we are always screened for lead poisoning (lead count in blood), as well as having information about lead poisoning pounded into our heads. Being sterile is not good, unless you%26#039;re a warrior monk .|||I have d-lead soap that I use after shooting or cleaning my guns, but just handleing them i use regular soap and hot water, and dont touch your nose or mouth until you wash|||To handle guns and ammo no it completely safe. The warning on the label is just to comply with federal regulations because lead is poisonous. But the answer to your question is no unless your a someone who goes to indoor shooting ranges a lot.





There has been a lot of proof in the past 20 years that Outdoor shooting ranges have provided a good degree of lead poisoning in the environment and Indoor shooting ranges have been proven to be dangerous to humans who go there as a hobby.





Check out this website to consider for yourself, but If your just handling them and hunting, your safe...





I would always wash my hands and usually take a shower after I go shooting or hunting so as long as your doing that, I see no harm.





Ace of the Deck,|||Naturally you want to wash your hands to get the GSR off in case you are stupid enough to kill someone!


Actually I wash my hands after handling ammo, I load my own .357%26#039;s and they are cast lead and cleaning my weapons. I don%26#039;t like to eat with dirty hands

Why the emphasis to wash your hands after touching a cold sore? Wouldn't the virus die within seconds?

Almost every website about Herpes Simplex says the same thing. They say that Herpes doesn%26#039;t survive long outside the body, so getting it from a toilet seat or some surface like that is next to impossible, but at the same time, they emphasize to wash your hands frequently during an outbreak to avoid autoinoculation of other body parts, and especially after touching a cold sore. This information seems contradictory, and I%26#039;ve never heard anyone address this issue. If Herpes survives outside the body for about ten seconds like I%26#039;ve read, what difference does it make if it%26#039;s on your hands or on a toilet seat? The only difference I see is the temperature, but they only address temperature when referring to Herpes surviving in a moist environment, like a wet towel. If it%26#039;s on a dry environment like on your hand, wouldn%26#039;t the virus die within a matter of minutes, if not seconds, without hand washing, or does the temperature of your skin alone keep the virus alive longer?|||I don%26#039;t know exactly how long HSV-1 can survive outside the body but it isn%26#039;t long. Yet it%26#039;s long enough to be transmitted, if statistics are anything to go by.





The emphasis on handwashing is because HSV-1 is transmitted mostly by lesions, secretions and viral shedding. You already know that touching a lesion transmits the virus to the fingers. But do you have any idea how many times a day you unconsciously touch other parts of your face? Your eye area, for instance?





The advice to perform handwashing after touching isn%26#039;t contradictory. It%26#039;s common sense. Your hand may be dry but the secretions containing the virus are not.|||Though the virus doesn%26#039;t live outside the body for long, it%26#039;s not just seconds. As well, the risk of autoinoculation is high. There are many, many cases of herpetic whitlow as a result of autoinoculation. In addition, it is possible to transmit the virus through asymptomatic viral shedding- so a person could have the virus and shed it without knowing. Most importantly, correct hand hygiene is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of organisms- whatever the organism may be.

When do you wash your hands when you pee, before or after?

or not at all?|||i think after you pee, it depends though if you%26#039;re a boy, then you really have to wash your hands but if you%26#039;re a girl, then you can, but you don%26#039;t have to.|||It%26#039;s pretty nasty for a woman not to wash her hands after she goes to the bathroom.
