In one of my classes a couple years ago they showed us a video about medicine in the 1800's. It was interesting that many of the older doctors were resistant to the theory of bacteria. Many were stubborn and refused to wash their hands simply because they didn't believe it would do any good. Needless to say, many people suffered because of their resistance.
Happy hand washing day! Now go wash your hands - your keyboard and mouse are probably filthy.

Thanks for saying Hi! and Thanks for the good luck! I have enjoyed reading both yours and Melissa's blog. In between apartment shopping I am always looking for good stuff to read!
Funny you mention it, that is why we are here. Steve Jobs is actually training Mac right now!! Mac is so amazing, we all new it was only a matter of time.
I like this blog because I get teased because I won't eat food that people have touched if they haven't just washed their hands. Who can really blame me, offices are so germy.
Rusty doesn't believe soap is necessary. He claims all you need to do is scrub. I harass him about this all the time, but he claims the evidence was through a U of U science lab experiement. I still think soap should be used!
Ha ha! Rusty just doesn't want the fake-tan lotion to get scrubbed off of his hands - he's a little sensitive about it ever since elementary school when we all called him "pale palms diehl" ;)
Seriously though, until you read that soap is ineffective in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, I'd keep using it.
Dear dentist, I was searching for image of hand washing procedures, and ended up to your blog. Is it OK if I use this image to be posted as an illustration on my blog too? Hope you don't mind. Thanks in advance, then :)
Dear Batikmania, you are much more courteous than I am. I simple took this image from somewhere else without asking. However, you have shown me the kindness and decency I should have shown two years ago today. I don't mind at all. In the name of cleaner hands, I hereby declare this image free for all to use far and wide. Go forth! Spread the message of cleanliness, and be ye dirty no more!
