About the hand washing matter, because it is too common, many people do not take it seriously. But according to research, a human hand is covered with about more than 400,000 bacteria, if the hands are not clean, the consequences are unthinkable. Myth 1, the concept of hand washing is poor A considerable number of people do not recognize the importance of absorption. A recent survey shows that the average number of times a person washes his or her hands 4.8 times a day, each time the hand washing time of about 10 to 20 seconds. Although the number of people washing their hands after a bowel movement has increased, 22% of people still say they do not wash their hands after using the toilet. This figure is an improvement compared to the hand washing situation released in the 2011 White Paper on the Hand Washing Situation of the Nation’s Population, but it still needs to be improved. There are about 836 million people suffering from diarrhea in China every year, of which children account for about one-third, and washing hands regularly can cut that number in half. Myth 2, used to use soap Many friends do not have the habit of using hand sanitizer to wash their hands, but are used to washing their hands with soap. The following set of research data on liquid hand sanitizer and solid soap bacteria removal effect comparison shows that hand sanitizer hand washing on the bacteria removal rate, much higher than soap. Although soap hand washing can achieve a certain cleaning and germ removal effect, but the decontamination effect is not ideal, the effect of germ removal is also limited, improper storage or use too long will produce serious pollution, not only can not play a role in germ removal, but also aggravate the pollution and damage to the skin. Hand sanitizer with hand washing 1 time the effect of bacteria and soap hand washing 2 times equivalent. Myth 3, wet paper towels to wipe hands instead of hand washing Many people are accustomed to carrying wet paper towels, before and after meals or access to public places, take out a wipe at any time to replace hand washing, that this is done to save time and hygiene, and even think you can disinfection sterilization. Wet wipes can not replace hand washing. No matter what kind of wet wipes, are more or less contains chemical additives, these additives are after the national inspection permit, but many wet wipes contain propylene glycol ingredients are low toxic chemical solvents, long-term use of wet wipes to wipe hands, and then to take something to eat, will lead to toxic substances into the gastrointestinal tract, there are safety risks. In addition, propylene glycol solubility is large, so sensitive people, it is best not to use wet wipes.
