Why you need to wash your hands
Throughout the day, people visit many different public places.
Moreover, many viruses, fungi and various bacteria can live here.
As a result, they can remain on the hands. And when a person touches his face with dirty hands, they can enter the body.
As a result, these microorganisms can cause various infections and diseases.
That is why it is important to wash your hands after visiting such places. And you must do it with soap. After all, just hot water will not be able to “neutralize” bacteria.
