As more and more cases of the antibiotic-resistant  staph infection come up, you should be telling your school children the proper way to wash their hands.

Simply shaking hands with someone or giving them a ‘high-5′ can pass the germs along.  It’s very important that students wash their hands for at least 30 seconds with warm water and soap.  This will be huge if you want to stay healthy.  Wash your hands at least 3 times a day and especially after using the toilet, shaking hands or being in a crowd of people.  When the cold and flu season are coming around, it is very important to make sure you wash your hands diligently.

Any aged people can come down with MRSA.  There have been 3 reported cases in the Georgia schools in the past two weeks.
