Short n’ sweet this week…as I can’t believe it’s that time of the week again! #TOTW is:
‘Want to reduce the risk of disease? Abandon shaking hands, and start bumping fists’ @Independent @AberUni #FistBump http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/want-to-reduce-the-risk-of-disease-abandon-shaking-hands-and-start-bumping-fists-9632110.html …
Another related tweet later in the week:
‘Should we abandon handshakes in favour of fist bumps? No way’ via @guardian @AberUni #FistBump http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/29/fistbumps-more-hygenic-than-handshakes …
Does what it says on the tin. Fist bumps mean less germs are passed on when greeting someone. Whether you think this is a step to far in hand hygiene or not is entirely up to you! I use both handshakes and fist bumps. I just thought this was an interesting piece of research worth sharing!
It doesn’t always have to be serious! :-p
