Whats news about washing my hands?
Yes, we know that’s what Mom used to tell you. It’s still a very important way to prevent illness. Most of the illnesses that are associated with poor hand washing are passed from human or animal feces to food. So it’s really important to wash your hands after you use the bathroom, change a baby’s diaper, or touch a pet and other animal. An infected cut or burn can also be a source of bacteria that can cause foodborne illness.
