Public Health Post


This was in a bathroom of a jittery joes.
This is an example of public health because it advocates the strict rule of handwashing for employees to limit the spread of germs.
I chose this example because I came across it when I was getting my favorite drink from JJ and had to use the restroom
Others should consider this example of public health by a common experiment using a phosphorescent chemical that you add to your hands and without proper washing, can be seen spreading to everything you touch where it then resides. In real world examples this could be germs or diseases so It's important to was your hands.
