Wash your frickin’ hands. Do I have to tell you again.

Anyone that is or has been one of my clients knows this as I repeat it over and over again during the class. WASH YOUR HANDS, which is the best way to prevent food borne illness. Maybe I should buy of these for my classes?

Here is an article from CNN which brings it home.

‘Americans love to eat out.

But each time they dine in a restaurant or wait in line during a lunchtime run to the nearest sandwich shop, fast-food or salad chain, they’re literally placing their wellbeing in the hands of people hired to prepare their meals.

New York-based PathSpot id deploying handwash scanning devices in restaurants that can detect if employees have adequately washed their hands.
