Hand hygiene is a term used to cover both
the topic of the traditional hand washing using soap and
water, and cleaning hands with alcohol based hand
sanitizers. Proper hand hygiene may eliminate nearly half of
all cases of foodborne illness and significantly reduce the
spread of the common cold and flu. Proper hand hygiene is
especially important in slowing and stopping the spread of
disease outbreaks such as pertussis (whooping cough) or if
we have a pandemic flu.
