        Why wouldn’t it work? Me and a lot of people have tried it long term and we’re absolutely fine.

          Bacteria from the poopoo can make you really sick.

          Definitely accept your anecdote but we know in the aggregate, handwashing works.

          Handwashing education in the community:

          • Reduces the number of people who get sick with diarrhea by 23-40%
          • Reduces diarrheal illness in people with weakened immune systems by 58%
          • Reduces respiratory illnesses, like colds, in the general population by 16-21%
          • Reduces absenteeism due to gastrointestinal illness in schoolchildren by 29-57%

          More good info from the CDC!
