The hands allow us to understand the world around us, through them we can recognize the texture of an object, caress our children, hold a portfolio, cook, eat, play etc... Through touch we incorporate information and environmental substances although the latter They can be both positive (food), and negative (pathogens, toxic substances). This is why we must take special care with the hygiene of our hands.

Since man is born and comes into contact with the environment he begins to relate to elements that are totally foreign to him and his immune system is formed and strengthened which prepares him to face future aggressions; However, it is not always possible to succeed in these confrontations, hence the appearance of diseases caused by viruses and bacteria that have entered our body. That is why, for centuries, scientists looked for ways to avoid or reduce the unfavorable influence of external health, after numerous failures found the answer that lasts in our days: good hygiene.

Wash hands properly: using warm water and soap, rubbing the surface of hands and nails for 20 seconds, rinsing well and then dry them with a clean towel.

The cleaning of the hands is one of the most important habits of personal hygiene. As I explained before, they help us to get in touch not only with the outside but with other people, which is why they are big transmitters of diseases and parasitic infections. Having dirty and contaminated hands and putting them in your mouth or eyes or handling food with them is the easiest way to get sick. In the nails accumulate a large number of microorganisms of the most diverse variety that can harm our health.

Some diseases that can be caused by poor hygiene of our hands.

  • Respiratory diseases
  • Hepatitis A.
  • Diarrheal diseases.
  • Influenza.
  • Fecal oral transmission. Among other.

Do not hesitate, the best way to avoid infections of this type is to have good hygienic habits: Wash your hands properly before cooking or eating, if you come from the street, after defecating, urinating, throwing garbage or, in general, entering in contact with any contaminated element.

Washing hands with soap and water is the best known and simplest method to avoid the transmission of microorganisms from one person to another.
