The Best Way To Avoid Infections

Carlos Torres-Viera, Infectious Disease Physician with West Kendall Baptist Hospital, says hand-washing is the best thing people can do to avoid infections. According to the physician, in countries with little water, hand sanitizers are the best option. Hand sanitizers are effective but they don't kill all types of germs, so people have to wash their hands with water and soap.
