Is it safe to wear gloves when shopping?
Because of the Corona19 virus, more people wear masks and gloves as well. In particular, in front of the mart's fruit stands, there are many people who touch oranges with gloved hands and pick bananas.
Is it safer to wear gloves when shopping? America's Men's Health heard the opinions of experts.
From the conclusion, no. According to bacteriologist Kelly Reynolds, "It can be bigger than a profit."
The Corona19 virus does not enter the body through the hand. Therefore, it is not necessary to put a protective film on the hand.
Even if you think about spreading the virus. Suppose you have a cart with a dirty handle. Would it be better to put on the gloves and push the cart? What if you touch the handle and then touch the mayonnaise, the tuna can, and the cell phone again? It will spread the virus exactly as you touched it with your bare hands.
Dr. Reynolds also points out that wearing gloves will wash your hands less. For example, if you were shopping with your bare hands? As soon as you came home and put down your shopping cart, you would have entered the bathroom and washed your hands. The next thing is to put together meat and tofu. But what if you wear gloves? It is easy to open the refrigerator door, add eggs and strawberries, and remove the gloves. In other words, it will result in spreading the virus from the mart all over the kitchen.
If you take off your gloves, all the viruses there are on your body. However, not many people know how to take off their gloves properly. Studies have shown that 30% of medical practitioners make the mistake of taking off their gloves.
Have you ever used disposable gloves? How to take off? First, grab the glove neck. Then, as you turn it over, that is, you have to take it out so that it comes out. Hold it in the other hand, a gloved hand, and hold the glove neck with your bare hand. Again, carefully peel it upside down so that the two are dry like a ball. After removing the gloves and throwing them in the trash, wash them in warm water with soap on your hands.
Gloves are needed when looking at the patient. There is no reason to wear gloves when shopping. Gloves are easier to harm than to help prevent the virus. The important thing is to wash your hands clean when you leave the mart after shopping, and when you return home.
