" A Firm Handshake, a Lot of Bacteria"
Research finding :
A strong handshake is almost twice as effective as a weak one in transferring bacteria such as E. coli from one person to another .
A moderately strong handshake, in turn, transfers about twice as many bacteria as a high-five. A fist bump is even more hygienic than a high-five.
Conclusion : Come home and wash your hands with soap, if your job involves giving a lot of handshakes in a work day .
