is it true if you wash your hands only with water for sixty seconds they will be clean?

Question

is it true ( without soap or anything else) i saw it in CNN

Answer 1

NO! When my sister was in nursing school they debunked that myth.

First, they all went and ran their hands under water as you described. Then the doctor/professor sprayed their hands with this stuff that turned bacteria blue. She said her hands were really blue, especially around your nails and in the webbing of your fingers.

It wasn't until after she washed with soap for 60 seconds that the majority of the bacteria was gone.

That is why you see doctors scrub their hands for so long before surgery.

Answer 2

I knew a nursing student who conducted an experiment using soap, soap and water and just water and tested each result with different periods of time (15 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute) and they had some method of detecting bacteria on the skin and the results of this experiment were that even if you used only water it was how much you scrubbed and for a longer period of time that determined less bacteria on the hands.

Answer 3

Depends on the definition of clean, but by any definition that I would use, No. Your hands contain oils that trap dirt, and you cannot get it off with just water: a detergent of some kind is required. Surgeons scrub with soap and a brush for minutes to get their hands clean.

Answer 4

we really did an try in Biology the position we grew samples on agar of someone's' hand which were a million. Unwashed 2. Washed in chilly water 3. chilly water + cleansing soap 4. warm water 5. warm water + cleansing soap there became an significant different in how a lot micro organism grew on the agar, warm water plus cleansing soap honestly being the most sanitary. the warm temperature is had to kill the micro organism - in market warmth is used to sterilise and grants issues lengthy shelf life e.g. extremely warmth-dealt with milk. So, warm water and cleansing soap is extra perfect if no longer thoroughly sanitising.

Answer 5

You exude oils, so to get your hands clean, you need something that will break down/remove that oil and all the bacteria etc. that are in or under it. What IS bogus is "antibacterial" soaps. These really are not effective and provide an opportunity for bacteria resistant to those anti-bacterial agents to evolve.

Answer 6

Really? I think that it's not true. I mean, there are soaps that you can use to scrub your hands and your hands will be clean. I guess it depends.

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

your hands are never clean entirely. There are billions of bacteria per needle point of space on your hand, at any given point of the day.

Answer 8

no you can wash your hands for 30 seconds and they will be clean.

Answer 9

to a certain amount maybe, but the germs around these days are so advanced that it wouldnt hurt to use soap.

Answer 10

only if the water is hot enough to kill all the bacteria,in which case your hands will be burnt, but clean.
