Health Tip: Wash Hands Often

Washing hands regularly is a great way to help keep you and your family well.

The Environmental Working Group offers these hand-washing tips:

Wash children’s hands often, always before eating and after playing.
Wash kids’ hands more often if they tend to put their hands in their mouths.
Antibacterial soap does not offer medically proven benefits over plain soap and warm water, an advisory committee to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found.
Read ingredient labels on soaps, avoiding those containing triclosan or triclocarban.
If washing with soap and water isn’t possible, opt for a fragrance-free, alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
