So I got pulled on this.
When washing your hands, do you wash your thumbs?
Having never thought of it before, got pulled over it, wasn't paying as much attention as I should to the thumbs.
So yesterday, grabbing a cheeky McD hot chocolate, using the toilets, noticed a paramedic washing his hands (next to me) and he didn't wash his thumbs either!
So mentioned it, and yeah, he said "Always forget them"
Also, do you have the anti-bac gel in the house for the after wash?

Yes I wash my thumb's but I don't use anti bacterial gel unless I'm visiting a hospital or gp surgery or I'm somewhere with no soap. I have a couple of friends who use anti bacterial gel quite a lot. My observation is that they are ill far more frequently than me |

I work in healthcare so been given the proper training about washing hands from our infection control officer when I started  I wash my hands a lot and use the alcohol gel many times a day. Always clean my desk before I start my shift. And wash my hands as soon as I get home from work or town. It's a ritual I never forget. |

I'm an avid handwasher but learnt the thumbs and wrists thing through working with food.
But I'm notorious for wet hands if I think the towel is a bit grubby . |

My first career was in catering.
First thing we were shown, how to wash your hands. Properly.
The head chef was a stickler for hygiene in his kitchen.
35yrs later, I still do everything I was taught |

The joys of growing up in a medical family involved being taught how to properly wash hands, thumbs et al. I still do it now. How do you not wash your thumbs though? I'm going to try today. |

I (Luke) used to have a friend who was a nurse and she once told me I wash my hands like a medical professional I'm so fastidious.
Hannah told me recently to wash my hands before doing something in the kitchen. I did them in my normal way but it was so thorough she thought I was taking the piss. |
