Wash your hands, soap and hot water as you leave any institutional facility (school, prison, hospital, gym).

Wrong.

Do NOT use HOT water to wash your hands. Use WARM water. Hot water eliminates the oils that your skin secretes that protect your skin from bacteria. Use comfortably warm water.

Make lots of suds, people! And clean underneath all those flashy rings, too! Bacteria love hiding under those flashy rings! 15 seconds of good, foamy suds! Rinse completely! Dry completely! Bacteria love moisture. If your hands are still moist, the next thing you touch will ruin all that hard work.
