Why Make Such A Big

Deal Out Of Handwashing?

These organisms that cannot be seen with thenaked eye are powerful and given theopportunity, they will infect you.

They can make you very sick. They are not concerned about who they infect so

everyone is at risk. The young, old and those witha compromised immune system are particularly at

risk. Even if you dont get sick from some germs youpick up, the person you spread it to could haveserious complications.
