Staying Healthy - 6 Things to Keep You Healthier #2

One of the ways to help you stay healthy is to be aware of places where germs and viruses might be. This one might surprise you. Refillable liquid soap dispensers are a wonderful place for bacteria to grow. Hospitals have gone to nonrefillable liquid soap dispensers for this very reason. But the other thing that hospitals have done is to have antibacterial/antiviral foam outside every room. This is a much better way to sanitize hands. Not only should nurses and doctors being using this foam, but all visitors should foam as you go into the patient's room and foam as you come out.

If you really like liquid soap, get the kind of dispenser that is not refillable.
