🧵 THREAD: Washing Your Hands to Actually Kill Germs (It’s Not Just About Water) Here’s the deal. 🧼👇
Most soap doesn’t kill germs, it evicts them. The scrubbing + water washes them down the drain.
Antimicrobial soap? Kills, but contributes to antibiotic resistance. Skip it.
Hand sanitizer? Kills fast, but fails against norovirus and doesn’t work on dirty hands.
✅ Advantages of proper washing (soap + 20 sec):
Removes everything (viruses, bacteria, norovirus, chemicals)
No antibiotic resistance
Cheap and effective
❌ Disadvantages:
Most people only rinse (6 sec avg = useless)
Overwashing destroys skin barrier
Faucet handles re-contaminate you
Bottom line: Plain soap, 20 seconds, rinse well. Use a paper towel to turn off the faucet.
That’s how you actually win. 🧼💪
