Touchscreens
Now that technology replaces some paper goods, it’s very important to wash your hands after touching any screens, including cell phones, computers, elevator buttons or so on. One of the worst offenders are kiosk machines in airports or public transportation locations, Dr. Burris says. “Germs are everywhere, and some places may harbor more than you may realize,” she says.
But don’t forget about phones, too; especially as we may share them with others. “Simple washing with soap and water will reduce transmission of these pathogens,” Dr. Burris says.
