Momma was right WASH YOUR HANDS!!!
There are so many of us that dont do the simplest thing,washing your hands is the key to a healthy system.
I hate when people don't wash their hands after sitting on "the throne". utterly disgusting.
being water has a good product one2tap, that cuts off waste from the sink. so you canwash as long as you need without wasting water.
Also, there's no need to use antibacterial soap, regular soap works just as well.
