Wash your hands when they are dirty and before eating to reduce the concentration of loosely attached germs, not the indigenous flora. There are several ways to accomplish this: soap and water, sanitizers, and wipes. Of these different methods, using plain soap (not antibacterial soap) and running water has been shown to be the most effective at removing more organisms from your hands. Critical components to effectively clean hands include lathering with soap, using friction on all surfaces of the hands, and cleaning under the fingernails. Remember, soap does not kill germs; it loosens and clings to the germs and organic matter and the friction and water rinses soap and germs away.
Next week I’ll discuss the T-zone, the ONLY portal for entry into the body for all respiratory infections.

Most respiratory infections do not have vaccines to prevent them and some infections are infecting people in spite of vaccination, such as pertussis. Hand washing and respiratory etiquette (not coughing or sneezing into the hands but into fabric or an elbow) and avoiding touching the facial mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and mouth, referred to as the T-zone, are critical behaviors for preventing respiratory infections.
