    Idaho Teacher’s Experiment Showcases What Happens To Bread When You Touch It With Dirty Hands

    Flu is causing havoc in the United States again as the flu season has begun. To teach her kids some valuable lesson, Jaralee Annice Metcalf of Idaho Falls, Idaho, did a simple experiment. She did a moldy experiment to show the importance of clean hands. Even though it is said that vaccines are the best prevention for flu, there is one more hack. Properly washing your hands may prevent the flu too.

     
     

    Jaralee conducted a science experiment using bread that proves this. She and her pupils took 5 bread slices and 5 polythene bags, one for each slice. They touched one slice with soiled hands and another with a hand, sanitized using a sanitizer. The third slice was touched with hands cleaned using soap and water. The fourth slice was smeared through a Chromebook while the last slice was left clean and untouched. Each slice was tightly sealed in polythene bags separately and kept undisturbed for 3-4 weeks.
     
    The results were like this: except for the slices left untouched and the one touched with soap-washed hands, all other caught mold. Surprisingly, even the slice touched with hands cleaned with a hand sanitizer also showed mold growth. The one which was touched with soiled hands and the slice swept over the Chromebook suffered the worst.
     
    Metcalf posted the results on her Facebook account saying that washing hands can have no alternative. Not even hand sanitizer does the job right. This experiment sure proves that washing your hands may prevent the flu.
