A Fist bump Is Less Germy than a Hand Shake
A nice firm handshake has long been a mark of good manners and elevated social skills. It is also a very germy way to greet people. A short, sweet fist bump will transmit the least bacteria. Whitworth and a colleague systematically tested the greeting for a study published Monday in the American Journal of Infection Control. Result of the study: The hand shake transmitted about 10 times more bacteria than the fist bumps and about two times more than the high fives. The longest, firmest shakes transmitted the most bacteria. These bacteria are known as Communicable diseases and are highly contagious illnesses passed from person-to-person via hands so when you blow your nose and do not wash your hands you pass on respiratory droplets, nasal fluid, and mucus. Saliva from Sneezing, and other communicable bacteria by touching contaminated surfaces, or individuals and objects. E-coli and fecal matter are also passed on by hand shakes. It could be a health risk to shake hands and forget to wash your hands continuously through out your day even when your not interacting with others.
