We all know how important washing our hands is. But DRYING them is important too. Damp hands attract more germs than dry hands. So if you still have to be out in public and need to use a bathroom, dry your hands thoroughly with a paper towel. They’re safer than hand dryers, which kick up a lot of germs.
