By 1847 Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis had discovered that the incidence of childbed fever, a deadly illness, could be drastically reduced if the doctors who delivered the babies washed their hands with disinfectant. Sixty years later, typhoid researcher George Soper connected the spread of typhoid fever to a cook who did not properly wash her hands. Both the carrier doctors and the cook denied that they had anything to do with the illnesses they spread. After all, they felt well themselves and figured they could not be infectious. Today we are still spreading illness unknowingly, by not washing our hands well enough or often enough. These features remind people of the importance of hand hygiene and show the techniques for doing it correctly.
