One easy way to fight antibiotic resistance? Good hand hygiene

Hygiene and antibiotic use interact. By affecting the distribution of resistant and sensitive bacterial strains across hospital patients, hygiene limits the bacterial diversity needed to evolve resistance.

Today was #youthoutreach day. Had a great time providing a #handwashing workshop to after school program students in Hamilton this afternoon 🎒

@MorriganResists I'm sorry to hear about your chronic herpes. For unknown reasons, #HerpesZoster (#shingles) is becoming more common, and a fair number of people will have recurrences.

We should never underestimate viruses. Many can cause long term (or later) effects.

The good news is that preventing one can help prevent most. If more people were cautious, we'd all be safer!

The Google corpus of edited text shows a big pre-COVID spike in one word starting in 2012. But by 2019, hand washing and handwashing were equally likely.

One-word “handwashing" is now more common than "hand washing" on the CDC website. @MerriamWebster Unabridged says one word (or hyphenated) but M-W Collegiate lacks an entry (which suggests two words). AP Stylebook goes with the hyphenated form. Oxford's dictionaries do one word. #words #tips #handwashing

#MasksWork!

Always consider exposure time, density, & ventilation. The more time you spend indoors with strangers the more reason you have to be masked! #covid #flu #rsv #prevention

Also remember that you can get flu from surfaces, so #handwashing is very important!

“Today's anti-mask activists have much in common with anti-handwashing doctors of the 1840s”

Infection doctors in Sweden are STILL spreading the desinformation that washing your hands is the most important protection against covid. THREE years into this RESPIRATORY virus pandemic... They should, as a minimum, lose their jobs.

Good morning!

New to #MedMastodon so thought I'd do an #introduction. #PalliativeCare NP by day, dog mom by night.

I believe in #masks, #handwashing, and #democracy.

So, what are your goals?

I think I will like my new place on Mastodon. It’s like a calm in the Twitter maelstrom. Can’t wait to import my info from Twitter if I can get it to work. This will be a steep learning curve. I have no current contracts so I have a lot of time. I’m a grandmother to 8 amazing kids and I have a wonderful husband and 3 amazing sons and their wives. I’m a nurse with over 30 years experience and practice in infection prevention and control (IPAC) in numerous Heath care settings Previous editor in chief of Canadian Journal of Infection Control. Have participated in development of several provincial, regional, national and international #infectioncontrol guidelines and resources #ebola #dialysis #covid #handhygeine #handwashing #MRSA #VRE #cdifficile Retired 8 years ago and now do consulting on IPAC in health care and public sector.
