  5. So last week, routine #bloodwork #CBC revealed slightly elevated #platelets 409 and a very slightly low WBC. Instructed to recheck 6 months. Are all these sicknesses causing these numbers? I am so worn out. Also told lingering cough will continue to linger. This has been the worst year of my life.

    2/2 #HandHygiene #HandWashing

    It is important to note… "Use of #antibacterial soap showed little added benefit compared with use of nonantibacterial #soap."

    Take home: There is NO need to add antibacterial agents to soap for basic #InfectionControl at home or in public places. More important that that you "just DO it" [wash your hands] than choosing a brand/formula of soap.

    …and...

    "Hand hygiene is clearly effective against #gastrointestinal and, to a lesser extent, #respiratory infections."

    Take home: This makes sense! #GI #infections are typically "fecal/oral" (I don't have to go into what that means!). The hands are the most likely route of infection. Wash them!

    #Influenza can be transmitted by touching surfaces. #COVID19 less so. So again the above makes sense.

    Hope this Helps!
