The importance of hand washing, illustrated

Ax experiment done at the Brownie troop meeting: Rub a pice of apple on your dirty hands, place in a sealed jar. Rub a piece of apple on your clean hands, place in a jar. Wait one week.

The results began overnight; the dirty piece turned brown and by day 3 was moldy. Today was the first time I have had it out of the jar and it is downright soft, mushy, moldy nasty.


This makes me want to wash my hands just thinking about the germs I am leaving behind.
