How can I avoid smear infections?
A lack of hygiene measures is the most common cause of smear infections. Pathogens are most frequently transmitted via the hands. Therefore, regular hand washing and hand disinfection is particularly important to prevent smear infections.
Since it is impossible to prevent germs from getting on one’s own hands, especially in public places, it is important to ensure that these are quickly eliminated by disinfectants. This should be done regularly before the germs enter the body via the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose or eyes or via small wounds on the skin.
