The right way to wash your hands (World Health Organization (WHO))

If it was possible to take comfort in something that came with the corona it was that we learned how to properly wash hands.

On days when we were afraid to touch any foreign surface for fear of being infected, we learned to sing "Today's Birthday" twice while rubbing our hands with soap and water.

Now a new experiment proves that even that is not enough.

It turns out that even if you wash your hands for 30 seconds - you miss certain points in the hand - even critical points - where bacteria remain.

The experiment, co-sponsored by the parenting organization CPR Kids, used Glitterbug's hand hygiene training kit to show the condition of our hands after rinsing.

The photo posted by the organization on Facebook shows what unwashed hands look like, hands that have been washed for only 5 seconds and hands after a prolonged 30-second wash.

The picture managed to arouse terror on the net, as many were surprised to find that even a long wash is not enough.

Notice the differences:

  There is an effective, natural and healthy solution

"You wash your hands right?"

Ask CPR Kids on Facebook, "Regardless of the numbers verified by the corona virus in your area or the state of your restrictions, effective hand washing is critical to 'stop the spread'."

The organization went on to explain why hand washing is so important: "Washing hands for five seconds leaves bacteria. Look at the difference that hand washing for 30 seconds makes! Note that even a deep wash of 30 seconds can still leave bacteria on jewelry and nails - focus on washing and drying as well. These areas when you wash your hands. "

And this is how it looks up close: "Dirty" blue marks remain on the nails, under the ring and between the fingers (Photo: Official Website, CPR Kids)

So how do you do it right?

Time is a partial solution. Yes, the more time you spend washing your hands, the more bacteria you will remove, but in order to wash your hands properly, Better Health recommends doing it thoroughly. First of all, wet your hands with running, clean water and turn off the tap. Apply soap and rub well for 20 seconds - or even more if your hands get really dirty. Spread your hands well quickly "over the entire area of ​​the wrist and wrist" and do not forget the areas that we often miss like the back of the wrist, the wrists, between the fingers and under the nails. It is recommended to remove rings and watches before washing hands or move them a little so that you can also wash the skin underneath, as these are areas where microorganisms can accumulate.

Finish by rinsing well under running water to make sure all soap residue has come off, before drying with a clean towel or paper towel. Be sure to dry well under the rings as they may be a source of future contamination if the area remains damp.

If you are in a place that does not allow you to wash your hands with soap and water, experts claim that a hand sanitizer containing 60 percent alcohol will work similarly.

However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that hand sanitizers do not get rid of all types of bacteria, and they may not be as effective when your hands are dirty or greasy.

"They may not remove harmful chemicals from their hands such as pesticides and heavy metals," the website said.

Thousands exposed to the disturbing image thanked the organization that shared it and tagged members they think might learn from it.

"I haven't worn jewelry on my hands for months for exactly this reason ... and we always have a nail brush pulled out near the soap," one wrote in the comments and another added, "Thank you for sharing it, it's great. Going to be careful under the rings from now on too."
