Gel in, gel out!

Microorganisms that cause systemic illnesses enter our body through one of the holes in our face. And how do they get in there? Almost always via your own hands. Unless you are in close proximity to someone who is coughing or sneezing (by the way, try to avoid those situations), it is uncommon to breathe in someone’s respiratory droplets. However, surfaces that you commonly touch (including someone else’s hands) get contaminated with said respiratory droplets, as well as with saliva, mucus, and stool contents left behind by people who don’t wash (or otherwise sanitize) their hands.

THE SOLUTION? GEL IN, GEL OUT!

THE POWER IS IN OUR HANDS!

You would be amazed at how drastically your incidence of contracting and sharing these and other similar illnesses would drop if you would get into the habit of sanitizing your hands:

1. Before entering, and after leaving, every potentially contaminated building or room – in this instance, the “before” part protects others from getting sick, and the “after” part protects you.

2. Before, and after, putting your fingers into one of the holes of your face (and after coughing or sneezing into your hands, or blowing your nose) – in this instance, the “before” part protects you from getting sick, and the “after” part protects others.

Imagine the savings in healthcare dollars, lost work time, and sheer misery!
