I have always viewed the wash you hands campaign with skepticism and thought that it is a bit over exaggerated.
This has led me to be washing my hands only after visiting the toilet and when I want to eat in the house or at a hotel. Not on the road when I am traveling or even on the roadside when I snack. Well this week end I changed my mind and I decided to be soapaholic.
The reason being that a guy passed away just because he didn’t wash his hands before having just a bite of tasty nyama choma(roasted meat). The said guy was on his way to Nairobi from Maasai Mara when he got a puncture. Without knowing that a poisonous snake was the cause of it, he changed it and he was soon on his way. He had no knowledge that he had carried the venom in his hands.
When he reached the Mai Mahiu area and he wanted to buy some meat, he didn’t mind tasting just a bite before he settled to eat the lion’s share. Before reaching the sink he collapsed. When he was rushed to hospital he died on the way and doctors confirmed the venom in his blood stream was present in his hands and the bust tire. So guys wash wash wash your hands, or use wipes or sanitizers when you are traveling before consuming anything
