Why? Roughly 50% of people don’t wash their hands after a bowel movement so we aren’t any cleaner.

I see it at work all the time. thank goodness I don't have to touch anything they touch like paper, etc.

You almost inevitably touch common fomites all day long at work or in school. Can you go through the day without coming in contact with door knobs, light switches, pens and pencils, buttons on the coffee maker, desktop surfaces, computer keyboards, etc. etc. etc.? Researchers studying the spread of germs in office environments have sprayed a doorknob with harmless tracker germs and found that they managed to migrate to 60% of the surfaces of other fomites in the office within two hours.

My husband had a Secretary who happened to sit outside the men’s room...she could hear whether men washed their hands...and if they did not would say something to them when they came out!
