I'm trying to stay healthy during cold season. How often should I wash my hands?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
It's recommended to wash your hands frequently, especially after using the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. Try to wash them at least 8-10 times a day.<|im_end|>

What's the best way to wash my hands properly?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
To wash your hands properly, use soap and warm water, rub your hands together for 20 seconds, making sure to get the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. Then, rinse thoroughly and dry completely.<|im_end|>

Is using hand sanitizer okay if I don't have access to soap and water?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, using hand sanitizer is a good alternative when soap and water aren't available. Look for a sanitizer that's at least 60% alcohol and rub it all over your hands until they're dry.<|im_end|>
