Which is worse? Being lazy about washing your hands or abusing hand sanitizer?
Between your morning subway ride, tipping the cute barista and high-fiving your favorite co-worker, your hands come in contact with more germs than a communal gym mat.
Of course, we all know that washing our hands with soap and water is the go-to way to fend off germs.
But the bathroom is really far and you pass Carol's cubicle all the way where you always end up talking about ferret Bueller.
What to do? Get lazy about washing your hands or abuse that hand sanitizer sitting on your desk?
Okay, time to squirt some truth.
Hand sanitizer is perfectly fine when you're on the go, but it isn't as effective as the old soapy standby.
I bet you didn't know that palm sweat has up to 5 million bacteria per square centimetre, or that one hand can carry more than 150 different bacterial species on it.
Where have your hands been? Comment below.
But don't ferret… I mean, Brett yeah.
