🧴Prone to skip the hand washing once in a while? Ewwww.

🚽🦠When you flush a toilet with the seat up, a mist containing bacteria is spread over about 6 square meters. Even worse… Sinks in public bathrooms are 90% covered in this bacteria. 👀

Hand washing is a little thing that makes a big difference. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 For more information, visit www.cdc.gov/clean-hands/about/index.html
