    I always wash my hands. There isn't any reason not to and I don't think I'd find any particular enjoyment in being ill, so I just do.

    Not unless I previously touched something rather dirty. I was never raised to wash my hands before eating.

    However, I've been wanting to get into the habit since I know how dirty my hands can get.​

    I wash my hands after going to the bathroom or being in a store or other public place. So I'll only wash before eating if we've been shopping beforehand. If it's just dinner at home and I've been sitting around the house like a lazy bum all day, I can't be bothered to wash.

    I use hand sanitizer on my hands ALL the time for no reason. I don't know why. So techincally, yes, I do sanitize my hands before I indulge in food.

    Washing my hands is a different case. Whenever I feel they smell the way I don't like them to smell, I wash my hands. Even if its my natural scent. Whenever I feel my hands are too sweaty or feel disgusting, I wash my hands... Things like that. Uhmm... and I wash my hands after I do my hair and after I brush my teeth, which are right after eachother in the morning, so I wash my hands, like, four times just in the morning. :|

    Washing my hands RIGHT before dinner, though, most of the times I just go get my food and eat without bothering to wash them.

    Usually?

    Other times we just eat like that;

    Me, with keyboard germs, my brother with... lets not go into that D; , my dad with either really greasy hands or hands covered in gamesness, and my grandparents covered in chocolate and the TV remote 8D

    About... 75% of the time I do though.

    I know I'm going to feel like a filthy person when if I answer this, but whatever. I don't, unless my hands are actually dirty. If I took out the trash, I would wash my hands. I do use hand sanitizer often when I'm at home, though.

    I'm such a freak about cleaning my hands clean :p,though at some times I might forget to clean them. When I'm with my Nana I have to clean my hands like every hour,its kind of annoying ha.

    Yeah to be completely truthful, I do that like 10% of the time, if that.
    I'm just too lazy to do it :/

    like, i don't usually, necessarily. if i prepare food for others i do so out of respect. but i think that nothing on my hands is going to kill me. and it may make me more resistant. only if i have touched foods that i don't like, or have touched the lid of a bin do i really really need to wash my hands. i'm not germ crazy at all, it's just a habit. i don't like it.

    Depends on what I did before. Like if I just went out to get the food, then no I won't. But if I just came back from school or something then I would.

    I don't usually sanitise my hands before eating, unless I know my hands are dirty and I can't eat in the state I am in. I'm not much of a neat-freak, so the idea of germs doesn't really scare me into sanitising my hands too often. And a healthy exposure to germs strengthens your immune system. :3

    Do I wash my hands before I eat?

    Heck! I'm so OCD towards washing my hands! I end up washing my hands a lot and using a lot of soap.
