Washing your hands does not help your immune system
Not a thread against washing your hands, however I do not understand the logic that it helps your immune system. There's no reason it would. In fact there seems to be evidence that it hurts your immune system. There's several toxic ingredients in most soaps. You won't find one without them by accident you have to look for more expensive ones in health stores.

Yup. I've known this for decades.

Unless you got poop on your hands or something equally nasty, its better to just rinse them off than use most of the toxic soaps they sell nowadays.

People have a tendency to scratch their face, eyes, etc.

If their hands are clean, it doesn't matter.

A co-worker in the office who has pink-eye means I am washing my hands all day long. She came to work with "itchy eyes" for two days before going to an eye doctor and learning that she had pink-eye. Nasty.

It is not for your immune system that you wash your hands.

It is for everyone else's.


140 years agog Doctors in hospitals did not wash their hands between patients. 70% of patients would die.

When they made Doctors wash their hands between clients they didn't die of what the last guy had.


Studies have shown EVERYONE DIES.

Try and stop it.

Since everyone dies, why don't people get out and live life to the fullest?

Be born, get educated, work for the man until you retire or die before retirement then retire and die.

Doesn't seem like much of a life for the working person.

Wearing gloves would seem to be a smarter solution to that. You wash your hands then you touch things again right? You don't get immunity to cross contamination by washing your hands, it only gets rid of bacteria that were already on your hands.

Again I'm not against washing your hands, but this logic that it will help your immune system is just false.

the only benefit to the immune system washing hands would cause is heating up the hand and increasing blood flow, assuming hot water is used

Re: Washing your hands does not help your immune system
Rinse at home and use soap in public places-
Actually just avoid public restrooms and pee outside if you can. Don’t shit outside unless you’re willing to pick it up- cuz that’s gross to come across human poop outside. Don’t know why - it just is.

My wife would just put lotion with toxins on them on her hands right before we go eat until I got her to stop. Is it smart to mix lotion with your food? Because essentially that's what she was doing.

Using antibac gel is the worst- Kills all the microscopic fighters.
I do use it occasionally but have a natural spray, and it’s when I feel something
