I agree
Failure to keep up a standard of hygiene can have many implications. Not only is there an increased risk of getting an infection or illness, but there are many social and psychological aspects that can be affected.

Poor personal hygiene, in relation to preventing the spread of disease is paramount in preventing epidemic or even pandemic outbreaks. To engage in some very basic measures could help prevent many coughs and colds from being passed from person to person.
Sometimes this is all thats needed to prevent the spead of infections, Just remember next time you see a guy coughing all over the place or sneezing without putting a tissue or their hand up to their face. Sheer arrogance. :erm:
