Genital Herpes: This is a sexually transmitted disease that causes genital pain and sores. The sores contain the virus and if the person infected touches them and then touches other parts of their body or other people, it can spread easily.
Hepatitis A: This is an infection of the liver and it usually spreads through contaminated food, water, and fingers containing the virus. The virus is spread through feces and when people don’t wash their hands, they can transmit the disease very easily.
Eye Infection: There’s a reason children are asked to stay at home if they have an eye infection. Viruses and bacteria cause eye infections such as conjunctivitis and trachoma. The fluid that comes from the infected eye can be easily wiped off by someone’s hand and if they don’t wash their hands properly they can infect someone else.
Washing your hands properly doesn’t take any rocket science. Make sure you wash your hands in running water, add anti-bacterial soap, rub your hands for at least 20 seconds, rinse and then dry. Prevent the spread of disease and ask others to do the same.
