Washing your hands = public health. It reduces the risk of contracting many communicable diseases. Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was one of the first hand washing advocates and his work greatly reduced the mortality rate of women just after giving birth. The CDC further explain "if everyone routinely washed their hands, a million deaths a year could be prevented." That's why we should always take the time to thoroughly wash our hands multiple times a day.
