Dear Editor,
Last week, I shared Show Me the Science -- How to Wash Your Hands.
Today, I'd invite you to join me in an "exercise" as an individual or a group.
Write down each surface or object you touch in a 24-hour day.
For exmple: light switch, refrigerator handle, door knob, ATM machine, touch screen, keyboard, mouse, railing, PIN pad, and remote control.
Take a minute to guess that number before you begin.
Were you surprised?
