Wash your hands

From the FDA website:

A study of 305 school children found that youngsters who washed their hands 4 times a day had 24% fewer sick days due to respiratory illness and 51% fewer days due to upset stomach.

Apparently they also have a 17% greater chance of getting chapped hands, and a 58% greater chance of developing an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Life is a balance.

Maybe their stomachs were upset less because they voided their bowels 4x per day!
