…Which Is Gross and You Should Fix It<\/h2>\n

Hey, did you wash your hands recently? Well, you probably did it wrong. CNN pointed out a recent government study found that 97 percent of the time, people fail to properly wash their hands\u2014a problem that can lead to all sorts of unnecessary illnesses being spread.<\/p>\n

The bar to make sure your hands are sufficiently clean requires you to wash and scrub with soap for at least 20 seconds.<\/p>\n

What it found was nearly every person working in the kitchens failed to reach the handwashing standard set by the CDC, which is probably not reassuring if you\u2019re currently out to eat at a restaurant in Tar Heel State.<\/p>\n
