Why is it advised to wash your hands before handling food and after going to the toilet?

Answer 1

Germs:

1. Germs spread easily due to inadequate hygiene, cross contamination of raw and cooked foods, and animal handling.
2. After using the restroom, the number of germs on your fingertips doubles.
3. As a result, thoroughly washing hands helps to avoid the spread of germs that can cause major health problems.
4. Hands should be washed for at least 10 seconds with soap and warm running water.
