The problem is not that the podcast hosts do not wash their hands after using the bathroom (which in itself is a clear problem). The biggest concern is that they hide the wrong information as a modern honesty and arrogance. This can give others who think and act similarly with a wrong feeling that what they do is fine or safe, according to Catherine Ziman, Preventive Medicine Expert and Environmental Health Professor at James Madison University.
In order for someone to perpetuate a wrong idea that would contribute in any way [the myth that handwashing isn’t important]”I don’t want to be on this aspect of the issue. This is why you continue to impose good practices,” Zeiman said.
Bennett was right. Often, people did not wash their hands “on the way back a day”, but they were not better off because of this, not to mention that they did not know anything better.

Without washing their hands, doctors and medical students move to the wings of motherhood where they will conduct vaginal tests (this was before the gloves used in hospitals).
The results were fatal. Between 1840 and 1846, the mother’s mortality in that clinic was 98.4 per 1000 births. However, in the second clinic, which was managed by midwives that did not perform autopsy or perform routine vaginal tests, the rate was 36.2 per 1000 births.
After a lot of study, Semelweis started asking students to wash their hands with a shiny lemon (referred to as whitening powder these days) before going to the maternity wing. Mother’s deaths fell to 12.7 per 1000 births in 1846, similar to the midwives clinic at that time.

Dr. Sabina Hollande, a physician of infectious diseases of children at Warren Albert Medical College at the University of Brown, said that Dr. Sabina Hollande, a physician of infectious diseases in children at Warren Albert Medical College at the University of Brown, is the most important one to reduce the spread of microorganisms (or germs) from person to person.
