Your parents were right – you should always wash your hands before you eat.
While they might have stressed washing to avoid the spread of germs, that’s only one of the many reasons you should always wash your hands (and get your kids used to religiously wash their hands too). Washing your hands properly – meaning two rounds worth of the Happy Birthday song – with soap and water not only kills any germs that you may have touched, but also helps remove other nasties like bits of dirt, flecks of flame retardants, and specks of dust. Check out our website for a roundup of great non-toxic hand soaps.
So, no matter how annoying it may seem, keep washing those hands and wrangling the kiddos to do the same. .
