Do you wash yopur hands before you eat???

I do not wash my hands every single time that I eat or snack. For example I do not wash my hands before I eat breakfast because then I have just had my shower. I wash my hands each time after using the bathroom. If I have a snack at my desk then I do not wash my hands first. However, if I am working in the garage or the garden and I want to eat lunch then I will wash my hands. So it all depends. But I am not a fanatic about it...

Hey , your are right that it is essentail to wash hands before every meal. If we do this we avoid milions of germ from entering our body. So befoe a meal I definitely wash hands. When in come tosnacks , as you say , I skip if i am surfing. I dont forget , i feel lazy. But I try to improve and now a days I make an attepmt to overcome my laziness and wash hands before I have any food. I use plain water most of the times. I make sure that I get out of all the dirt from my hand. I use liqiud hand wash soaps when I feel my hand is dirty enough that water wash wont suffice. Happy posting !!!

Hello mymytri. I normally start mylotting by the end of the day. That means finishing all the task at hand and kicking everyone to bed. Its really not my habit to pop in some snack while pounding on my keyboard. I actually avoid washing my hands especially after spending an hour or two on the computer. Our hands are already tired from typing and washing our hands in-between typing is not advisable. It can cause further serious complication in the future.

Hi mymytri, I definitely wash my hand before eating food whether breakfast, lunch or dinner. In case I eat in the afternoon anything at that time also I wash my hand. While I eat snacks I wash my hand after eating it. I used to keep my hands always clean. In case I come from outside I will wash my leg, hands and face. In case I do not do this I would feel comfortable till I wash my legs, hands and face. I use only plain water for washing my hand. In case I feel my hands need to be wash with soap then I use the soap.

Yes.I have had this habit since I was very young.I will wash my hands first no matter what I will eat or I will feel nauseated.There are many dirty things and germs on our hand.

yeaaaaaaah i dont wash o.O" i mean, to dinner and lunch i do, but to other stuffs i dont :( what a lame -.-

i am sorry to say that i don't all the time i eat. while snacking at office or outside home i mostly go fordry food like burgers hotdogs, pizzas, cakes, which i can manage with tissues. however, when at home, i ake sure, infact my mom make sure that i wash my hand with disinfectants. sometimes, i use hand care lotions when at work. thanx.

When I was younger, of course I didn't think many times to wash my hands before only snacking. But in the this day and age of mutating viruses, I feel the need to wash my hands before snacking as well as well as before meals. If I eat fruit, I wash the fruit too. I use soap, but since studies have shown anti-bacterial soaps are no different than regular soap, it doesn't matter which soap I use, just that I do indeed use it.

I only wash my hands if I know I will be using my hands to eat. If it is at home, I automatically wash my hands when I wash my eating plate before I eat. If I eat outside, I do not have the habit of washing my hands first.

Yes ofcourse I do that every time. I can't eat without washing my hands. my parents taught me this from my childhood. I think every people has to do that .it is hygenic for our health.I try to use medical soap for washing. but if I am not getting mecal soap at that situation then I wash my hands with soap.

Yes, I always make sure that I wash my hands before eating. I usually ensure that I use some soap as well to get rid of any kind of bacteria or dirt that might be on my hands since our hands touch so many different things throughout the day. This might otherwise be passed onto the food I touch and then I might consume them all. I feel that good hygiene is very important if one doesn't want to fall ill through bacteria that has been on our hands.

yes always. But only with plain water. But if you are after a hard day's work or play then washing with a medical soap would be a lot better..

yea, i wash my hands before i eat, dont everyone, i mean i havnt seen anyone who doesnt do that!! LOL !!

Just thought i might add another interesting fact, Did you know: That the germs/bacteria on a person's hand almost doubles after going to the toilet, but up to half of men, and a quarter of women do NOT wash their hands after going to the toilet, how revolting! Also, the finger tips and the thumb areas are the parts of the hand which are most FREQUENTLY missed when washing hand! And during an illness such as flu or cold, you should wash your hands much more times than usually since the level of germs increase, the washing of hands protect not you, but the people around you, so dont be selfish and wash more times =D

usually yes. normal soap works for me

I wash my hands evrything with soap and water before I eat anything. Even when I go out to eat I go to the restroom to wash my hands first.

Yeah I do. I have a germ phobia and realise that there's germs just about on everything you touch. Even the keyboard is full of germs! I use any kind of soap tp wash my hands and if there's no soap available I'll use hot water. However I do think that we should expose ourselves to some germs to keep our immune system strong so I do like to mess around in the backyard with my cats and dig around in the garden. I just always feel nervous when it's time to put things in my mouth with my unwashed hands.

Hi mymytri!! Nope i wont wash my hands all the time..When i have breakfast, Lunch or dinner i Just wash my hands with out using any soaps..Mostly my hands are so clean so there is no need of washing my hands all the time..:)

yes i do wash my hands all the time. Not only before the lunch , or snacks, but alo when I am cooking and I go for something to thr fridge I would wash my hand because there can be some bactrerials on the handle. But I am not sure if it is so good, since there are bad and good bactirias and with washing we kill the both. i am using just liquid soap for washing my hands and of course i wil dry them good.

when i ate with my father i often wash my hands before eatig 'coz his so meticulous, but if his not around im tierd of washing my hands in the faucet!just kidding but it's true....
