Bacteria live all over our skin and can be spread easily by touch. This isn’t usually a problem, but in somewhere like a hospital where people are vulnerable to infections, this spread should be kept to a minimum. One simple and effective way to stop bacteria spreading is a good handwashing.
You don’t even need antibacterial soap, as the rubbing motion and water washes bacteria down the drain.
