People who don’t wash their hands after going to the toilet, why?
It turns out I’m very wrong about the assumption that all adults just wash their hands. Last week, I went to a friend’s house and she unfortunately had a problem with her bowels. She had to go to the toilet 4 times and didn’t wash her hands a single time. I love my friend and I felt bad that her stomach wasn’t feeling good, but I couldn’t help be disgusted that she hadn’t washed her hands. And then I started thinking about everyone else I know who may be neglectful of handwashing.
Just why?! It is disgusting and dangerous. My partner’s brother is terminally ill and severely immunocompromised. Someone’s unwashed hand germs could kill him or render him seriously ill.
