Germs, germs, germs, they are everywhere and some have the potential to
make you very sick. And a new study finds most people don't realize
these germs are found in every day places. Researchers at the University
of Arizona measured germ counts on hands after people did certain
things. And the list of what they found may be the complete opposite of
what you thought.
GRFX
Your hands are most contaminated after:
Cooking a meal
Cleaning the house
Petting a dog
Going to school
Doing the laundry

Least risky was using a public restroom.

I think this gives you the idea that your best defense against the
invisible germs around you is to wash your hands frequently.

Also today, your best defense against Alzheimers, read, garden walk, do
puzzles anything but watch TV. Researchers at Case Western University
found middle age people who just plop down in front of the tube every

use their minds and bodies.

And finally today, C-P-R, surveys show many people avoid doing C-P-R in
an emergency because they don't like the idea of giving mouth to mouth,
especially to a stranger. Well, a study in the New England Journal of

just as effective as mouth to mouth plus pumping on the chest.
