Caroline Cartledge, a nurse practitioner with UAB Student Health Services, shows the right way to make sure your hands are as clean as possible.

“Wash your hands as much as you can,” she said. “We always recommend handwashing before you eat anything before you make food for other people and after you use the restroom. I wash my hands anytime I touch a doorknob; if there is hand-sanitizer around, I always use it.

People touch their faces more often than they realize. Every time you touch a door handle and then scratch your nose, you are susceptible to contracting viruses.”

Cartledge recommends lathering your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

“A good rule of thumb is to sing or hum ‘Happy Birthday’ to yourself twice,” she said.
