Dirty Hands


In California, signs everywhere say: “Clean hands lead to good health”. Every morning when I arrive at my desk at eBay, I go to the kitchen and pick up some wipes from a huge box of Lysol ® (“Lysol. Disinfect to protect”) and start the recommended cleaning of my phone and desk. Who would have thought I was in a high risk profession? We use enormous amounts of soap and then gigantic amounts of hand cream to beat the most aggressive germs. The way I used to wash my hands is nothing compared to our professional hand washing these days. Now we wash our hands before we wash our hands and after we have washed our hands. And according to some very reliable sources, that’s why we are in such great health.
