I learned something new from Sanjay Gupta.

Be sure to wash your thumbs. I imagined myself washing my hands, and lo and behold, I was not scrubbing my thumbs.

1. That was a great video by the way.

2. Like the three rules of golf.

3. Years ago, I worked for a health department.

There was a health educator there whom most of the young guys considered a dork. He had a had washing film he showed to school and community groups. It was great. He told us about thumbs. He suggested that if we could, to bring the paper towel with us to open the door. Or, to use our elbow, or something other than our freshly washed hand to open the door.

I have thought about him often during the last few days. He was no dork.

4. Thumbs, fingertips, between fingers and backs of hands too. n/t

5. Don't forget the wrist

That you have been using to touch you face, glasses, etc instead of your fingers and hands.

6. I wash about 1/3 of the distant up to my elbows

Because it covers more territory and takes more time. That way I don't have to count seconds or sing. That's just my silly approach to the task.

7. I have alway washed up further than just my wrist.

I do each finger ( thumb included.) The other thing I do is pay attention to cleaning around and under my nails. I like to make sure the soap gets into the crevices.

Call me paranoid but I can't help but thinking about what could be hiding there.

8. I role my hands over while washing them. I always wash my thumbs and little finger, many people

leave those two out as they focus on the center part of their hands.
