Clean Hands

Press here for a printable flyer about this project

   The Center for Disease Control reports that hand washing is one of the "most important means of preventing the spread of infection." The simple act of washing your hands can stop infectious diseases, the third leading cause of death in the United States.Shelly Anderson

   The Clean Hands presentation uses Glo Germs to illustrate how easily germs are spread. Glo Germs, actually a fluorescent powder that glows under a black light, also provides a visible demonstration of when improper hand washing has taken place.  

   Shelly Anderson project presenter tells us about the project: "I'm hoping this project will help consumers to realize how important it is to wash their hands throughout the day. If people washed their hands more often there would be fewer colds and flu. My goal is to teach consumers how to prevent illnesses so that they can have better lives. This project is very special to me."
