Don't Forget The Soap
Do you wash your hands after using the bathroom? Many Americans don't, scientists said last week.
Researchers phoned people to ask about their hand-washing habits and peeked into rest rooms in five U.S. cities.
The dirty truth? Many Americans don't lather up as often as they say they do! The grubbiest hands were in rest rooms at a New York City train station. And men are more likely to skip hand washing than women are.
Grimy hands can spread colds and more serious illnesses. So don't slip past the sink!
