Phoenix Rising Farm on wed 7 oct 09
We were taught during a first aid class that if you wash your hands
with plain soap and water long enough to sing a refrain of "Happy Birthday"
(about a minute and a half to two minutes),
you've killed 99% of the bacteria on the surface
of your hands. No, you don't have to sing it out loud .
Plain soap and water, no fancy anti-bacterial "stuff".
Yes, liquid hand soap or dishwashing detergent works too.
Why waste the money buying the anti-bacterial products?
Spend the money on clay instead...or a new tool, or....
Best,
