National Handwashing Awareness Week (December 7-13)

Rising cases of drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections make the observance of National Handwashing Awareness Week (December 7-13) even more vital than before. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cite that hand washing is the single most important way to prevent the spread of infection. So, remember to wash dirty hands, always wash before eating, and keep fingers out of eyes, nose and mouth.

And who better to talk about washing your hands than…Henry the Hand. This week, a look at, well, Henry.

TTFN, Fred.

Quote of the week: "A lovely thing about Christmas is that it’s compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together." - Garrison Keillor, Leaving Home (American author, storyteller, humorist, columnist, musician, satirist, and radio personality, 1942 - )
