October 15th World Hand Washing Day!
The United Nations Children's Aid Fund (UNICEF) adopted October 15 as “World Hand Washing Day.. However, handwashing is not as common as desired throughout the world. Why wash your hands important in washing our hands, what should we pay attention to all of our writing.
The purpose of this day is not to be limited to one day, but to encourage hand washing with soap throughout the year. In our daily life, our hands are the organ which is in constant contact with the environment and therefore contain the most microorganisms. Although our hands appear to be clean, they can carry many disease-causing agents, such as invisible bacteria, viruses and parasite eggs. Studies have shown that despite the clean appearance of a normal adult human hand, six thousand bacteria can be found in an area of 1 cm2.
Hand washing is the simplest and most effective way to prevent the transmission of harmful microorganisms, especially the common cold, influenza, diarrhea and pneumonia. While most of us cough, we close our mouths with our hands instead of using handkerchiefs and sneeze into the palm of our hand. After this behavior we do to prevent other people from breathing the same air, we shake hands with the same people and leave. As a result, we use our hands as a means of transmitting disease. Flu viruses can survive in the hands for hours. Therefore, hand washing is of particular importance. The hands should be prevented from spreading a virus. Shaking hands with the virus-contaminated hands, touching the door handles, the elevator, the cash dispenser buttons will cause the virus to become contaminated with the spread of the disease. In terms of flu and flu; door handles, elevator buttons, handrails, cash dispensers in shopping malls, schools and workplaces play a very important role in the exchange of viruses among people. For this reason, it is very important for those who are sick to be careful not to pollute these places, those who touch these places, not to bring their hands to their mouths and to pay attention to hand cleaning.
The easiest and most effective way to prevent infectious diseases is through hand washing. Although washing hands may seem simple, there are rules to be followed. In the hands, especially the thumb, fingers and fingertips are the most frequently touched points, and thus contain more microorganisms. According to scientific studies; microorganisms are not cleaned from hands unless they are washed with a certain time and appropriate technique. Although solid hand soaps and liquid soaps have the same effect, solid soaps may remain contaminated depending on the location and conditions of use. Therefore, the use of liquid soaps should be preferred in hand cleaning, especially in public places.
Effective hand hygiene can be achieved by applying the right washing technique every time. If we wash the right hands for our own health and public health and bring this habit to our environment, we will take a big step to prevent food poisoning and infectious diseases. It is in our hands to protect the health of both ourselves and those around us. Therefore, it is important to make handwashing a habit for health, with an emphasis on the importance of handwashing on this special day.
