One of the most effective things you can do to protect yourself from catching a germ and becoming a statistic, whether it’s a global pandemic like COVID-19 or just every single other day of your life, is something that people have been trying to get you to do since you were like 2. Wash your hands. With good ol’ soap. And do it the right way. That’s it. Here’s the science of handwashing!

Hey smart people. Wash your hands. That's all. Here's the real science of why soap is such a darn good germ killer, and the scientifically-approved method for washing your hands. I'm on Twitter and Instagram: @DrJoeHanson @okaytobesmart And go check out this video about soap chemistry from our friends at Reactions! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZiggLma0q-Wkqs.html

But if this is not the same experiment as the one you are talking about, can you explain it, I am curious? Also, regardless of the onion experiment I did, this experiment which I have not seen before still interests me the most as far as biology goes, I have never liked biology that much but this was really cool. And, at least the science that I have learned in the past recent years of school, middle school and high school sciences still have offered a fair amount of knowledge and experiments, although yes I wish we did more than just memorize principles and equations at certain times, especially recently with my chemistry and physics classes. Both had a rather equal sharing of equations and lab experiments applying the knowledge, but I still yearn for more simply because I really love the sciences.

Surgical soap is so effective because it has a purple dye in it that shows when you haven't scrubbed all the soap off so you don't carry the soap into surgery.

@wholeNwon 4 жыл бұрын

Yes and no. Betadine soap is most frequently used and is reddish-brown and easily seen. Chlorhexidine may be dyed or not. The dyed is use to disclose areas of the patient's skin that haven't been painted (scrubbe). Preps are contact germicides. The longer they make contact, the better they work. Except in unusual situations, they should not be removed from the pt's skin until after closure. Then it's done largely for aesthetics.

I've been wearing gloves, but I've also been fastidious about hand washing - possibly too fastidious as my hands have dried out.

what if I'm so paranoid that I go out of my way to wash the faucet as I wash my hands?

Dumb question: how would a residue of soap on a hard surface affect the germs - if at all?

@GloomGaiGar 4 жыл бұрын

same way it affects germs on your skin but it's better to still rinse the surface

Totally unrelated, I am giggling at how much your kitchen is like mine! Same cabinets, almost same countertop and fridge, same stove, same undermount SINK, same FAUCET... I even have bits of red and turquoise, plants and brand of hand soap. And LOVE the sign... Thanks.

They are not alive because they don't have any metabolism and need living cells for reproduction and to start their biochemical processes. They are incomplete cells which carry DNA but not the enzymes to perform an independent metabolism.
