Children are naturally curious and exploring things by touch can cause their hands to become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Indeed, recent research from Initial hygiene found that even when children had a low swab count (under 500) on their hands, they still had 47% more germs and bacteria than adults. However, washing hands regularly can improve hand hygiene levels by up to 79% for children, and 89% for adults.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_elemnt_style_colors=”{‘text_color’:”,’link_color’:”}” el_uid=”5f5cacac251d7″]Unwashed hands can transfer germs onto other objects, unknowingly like handkerchief, table tops, or toys, and from there they are being transferred to another person\u2019s hands.
