One of the most
effective ways we have to protect ourselves and others from illness is good
personal hygiene. This means washing your hands, especially, but also your
body. It means being careful not to cough or sneeze on others, cleaning things
that you touch if you are unwell, putting items such as tissues (that may have
germs) into a bin, and using protection (like gloves or condoms) when you might
be at risk of catching an infection.
Personal hygiene, such as bathing, is very much dependent on the culture in which you live. In some cultures, it is expected that you will wash your body at least every day and use deodorants to stop body smells.
