Summary

Handwashing with soap and water is a simple way to reduce your risk. Following six simple steps in this video will help remove germs that may have accumulated on your hands during a farm visit. Washing with soap and water is better than using hand sanitizer. Sanitizer does not work against all germs and won’t work if your hands are visibly dirty.
