Bread Germ Alert (Hygiene Tips)


May I present to you my son’s kindergarten science experiment: First, he was asked to touch a piece of white bread and seal it in a Petri dish. Next, he was asked to wash his hands, then touch another piece of bread and seal it in a Petri dish. A month later, he brought home the two Petri dishes. Can you guess which piece of bread he touched before he washed his hands? Gross, I know, but all I could think of when I saw the piece of black/green/germ-infested bread was how often I touch my face or stick a finger in a makeup compact without even thinking about the invisible germs lurking on my fingertips! Tell the truth: Do you always wash your hands before handling your makeup or blending with your fingers?
