15 Second Rule For Handwashing

I noticed for the past two months that people were taking turns getting sick at work. Germs were being passed around, and I didn't want any part of it. The number one way to prevent getting sick is washing your hands a lot. Germs are everywhere from door knobs to light switches. But you have to wash your hands right. To effectively wash all bacteria and germs from your hands, you have to wash your hands for at least 15 seconds. I wasn't sure if everyone knew this rule. Anything under 15 seconds is not enough. So you people who do the quick rinse with soap, you better count to 15 before you finish.

Thought you all were Monk fans, I think to get all the real crap out you need to scrub under your nails also.

Haha, Laura! Now you don't have an excuse to be stinky.

Just because I am a Monk fan, doesn't mean I have OCD. =p
