Do you wash your hands before using the restroom?

[LuvN~Travel]

At work I do since I work with the public. Just love it when they hand me money after coughing or sneezing on the same hand previously. Ugh!

Sometimes, it depends on what I've been doing and touching.

Can you imagine doing yardwork or gardening and coming into contact with poison ivy and having to explain to a doctor how you got poison ivy there!

 

[Squidgyness]

Nope. I do afterwards though.

I prefer to use a tissue or try not to touch anything I don't have to, wash my hands, then use antibacterial handwash and plenty of it once I'm out.

I've noticed a marked downturn in colds and other illnesses since I started using antibacterial handwash to supplement whatever cheap soap they have in most bathrooms round here. If they even have soap.

do I routinely? No.
Have I? Sure. If I have been touching really dirty things or germy things.

I also washes my hands a lot during the day just because they feel dirty.
I wash before handling food. Before meals. At restaurants before meals.

Not a germophobe. Like I don't carry lysol or even worry about public toilets or hotel rooms, but if my hands feel dirty, I wash them.

EXACTLY on how said you don't want poison ivy down there. ROFL I know many outdoor male friends who have had it there.

Sometimes, but definitely not every time.

Without getting into TMI, usually just "once a month", only when I"m at work and I've had my hands on everything, and only when things need changing. Did I get my point across? Where I work, it's pretty filthy and there are lots of people and everyone touching things. I'm sure my hands get fairly dirty so, yes, during that time, I do wash up a bit first.

depend.....on how desperate I am.
