Dear editor,It is good and interesting that people are still taught that they should wash their hands clean before eating. Despite the proven health benefits of hand washing, many people don’t practice this habit as often as they should — even after using the toilet. Throughout the day, we accumulate germs on our hands from a variety of sources, such as direct contact with people, contaminated surfaces, foods, and even animals and animal waste. If you don’t wash your hands frequently enough, you can infect yourself with these germs by touching your eyes, nose or mouth. And you can spread these germs to others by touching them or by touching surfaces that they also touch, such as doorknobs. So, we need lessons on the hygiene and people should take this one seriously. KANOMBE
