Here’s why you should regularly disinfect your hands Whether you are in the subway, a daycare center or the office: germs and bacteria will be there with you. Many are harmless, but some carry infectious diseases. Most of them enter our bodies with the touch of a hand. And it only takes seconds: If a sick person opens a door and shortly after them, a (still) healthy person touches the same door handle, rubs their tired eyes briefly or scratches their nose the pathogens already spread throughout their body. Once their immune system loses the fight, infectious diseases can occur. When you wash and disinfect your hands regularly you can break the cycle of infection and even save lives. An infection with flu viruses and, in particular, multi-resistant pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) can have fatal consequences for vulnerable people such as senior citizens, young children and those with a pre-existing health condition. Watch all the steps in detail in our video: https://lnkd.in/eMYtjJrJ #schülke #disinfection #handhygiene #weprotectlivesworldwide

Have you ever experienced a frequency illusion? It's a phenomenon where something you recently learned seems to appear everywhere – making it feel more common than it is. Recently, I spotted a bulk soap dispenser in the washroom at one of my favourite restaurants - a new location I'd never visited. It stopped me, and I had to snap a picture. Do you see what I see? Did you know that bulk soap dispensers can leave your hands with twenty-five times more bacteria after hand washing? Shocking, right? And, typically, there are more bacteria in bulk-fill soap dispensers than a toilet seat in the same bathroom. While bulk fill dispensers are easy to maintain and cheap, they pose a health and safety risk. Airborne bacteria can contaminate soap, increasing the risk of spreading infectious diseases. As a business owner or facilities manager, consider switching to a sealed soap dispensing system. These systems are ultrasonically sealed, providing hygienic soap every time. You'll eliminate the contamination risk and get a measured dose every time. Plus, these systems are much easier to maintain than bulk soap dispensers. If you're still reading, let's see if you run into this frequency illusion the next time you use a public washroom. #handhygiene, #infectionprevention.

The risk of contacting norovirus is greatly reduced by hand washing says report. Effective hand hygiene is the "best way" to avoid sickness. Coming into contact with the virus from a contaminated surface, food, or from a person with the illness is easily done. So there’s one vitally important thing everyone can do at a key moment to avoid catching it, says the report. “That’s why hand-washing is important and the best way to prevent getting sick with norovirus.” Forget the gels – use soap and water. The NHS guidance Norovirus (vomiting bug) also highlights the best way to avoid succumbing to the illness. And it doesn’t involve reaching for “convenient” alcohol hand gels in this case: they simply don’t work! “Washing your hands frequently with soap and water is the best way to stop it spreading. Alcohol hand gels do not kill norovirus.” #handwashing #norovirus #mobilesinks https://lnkd.in/eHqhnkG7

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a disease that usually spreads when skin-to-skin contact is either made directly or by sharing personal items such as razors, sports equipment, and more. The infection can become life-threatening without proper care. Prevention methods include maintaining good hygiene, and in case of infection, avoiding the use of bleach, disinfectants or detergent on your body. Learn more about MRSA:

What exactly is hand hygiene? It's the simple yet essential practice of keeping hands clean to prevent infections. The CDC highlights a significant point: washing our hands with soap for 20 seconds helps remove harmful germs and prevent drug resistance from spreading. Let's make a pact—commit to clean hands for ourselves and our community.
