Men less likely to wash hands.
After reading the article about how men are alot less likely to wash their hands after going to the bathroom then women are i can honestly say I'm grossed out about all of the stats that were given throughout the article. Last monday researchers that spy on people in the bathroom reported that one third of men don't bother to wash their hands after going to the bathroom compared to one out of ten women didn't wash their hands while going to the bathroom. Compared to the survey taken ten years ago only one fourth of men didn't wash their hands. The survey was based on over 6,000 people in four major cities: Atlanta, New York, San Fransisco and, Chicago. Doctors say simply washing your hands is the number one best way to prevent form getting sick and getting the flu. Even after the results show only 66 % of males wash after going 92% of males say they do wash their hands after using the restroom. Atlanta was the worst: only 57% of guys there washed their hands compared to 95% of women did. Chicago was the best followed by New York and then San Fransisco. Other hand washing facts include: three fourths of Americans wash their hands after changing a diaper, 78% after eating food, 42% after petting a cat or dog, 25% after handling money, and 34% after coughing or sneezing. What i believe matters from this story is the fact that so few few Americans wash their hands when it only takes about thirty seconds to a minute at most but so many neglect it when it could easily prevent you from getting the flu or getting sick. I wonder if you did a survey on other countries what percent of people would wash their hands. If i were to guess i would say that in other countries the percentages would be a lot higher.
