When do germs get on our hands?
  • After we use the toilet
  • When we touch surfaces that people have coughed
    or sneezed on
  • When we touch doorknobs, handles, keyboards,
    desktops, toys, equipment, and other surfaces
    that have germs on them
  • Germs collect on many surfaces when people touch
    things and have not washed their hands

How do the germs on our hands make us sick?
  • Germs get into our body when we touch our eyes,
    nose, and mouth with our hands if we have not
    washed them.

Handwashing removes the germs and helps to keep
you, your family, and friends healthy
