          Bacteria from the poopoo can make you really sick.

          Definitely accept your anecdote but we know in the aggregate, handwashing works.

          Handwashing education in the community:

          • Reduces the number of people who get sick with diarrhea by 23-40%
          • Reduces diarrheal illness in people with weakened immune systems by 58%
          • Reduces respiratory illnesses, like colds, in the general population by 16-21%
          • Reduces absenteeism due to gastrointestinal illness in schoolchildren by 29-57%

          More good info from the CDC!
