Hit the Nail on the Head
Guys, it shouldn’t come as news to anyone that maintaining clean nails is more than just an aesthetic practice; it’s a crucial aspect of personal hygiene that plays a significant role in preventing the spread of germs. Our hands are constantly in contact with various surfaces, picking up dirt and microorganisms throughout the day.

Nails, especially when long, provide a hidden refuge for these germs, including bacteria and viruses. When we touch our faces or eat with our hands (which we all do sometimes), these germs can easily transfer to our mouths. Regularly cleaning under and around your nails, keeping them trimmed, and washing your hands thoroughly are simple yet effective ways to reduce this risk.
