The UN says washing hands with water alone is not enough "because you fail to wash off the germs".
"We are recommending hand-washing with soap," Ms Dooley said.

From what I've witnessed in many a restaurant, store, and church bathroom, this is something that needs to be preached!!!

pretty gross to go to the bathroom, and as you (a man) are standing there, see another finish, then leave, by way of the door knob/plate/handle - without washing their hands. even worse in a restaurant, when you finish washing, and back out the door as to not touch what they did - to see them reaching in the candy/mint-bowl!! arghghhg blarghghg

A doctor's favorite joke:
Do you know how to tell if somone you meet in the restroom is a doctor? He washes his hands
first.

I actually have a friend who refuses to touch anything with his hands in a public restroom. It's all elbows, knees, and feet. He sometimes even waits next to the door waiting for someone to open it so he can dart out before it closes.
