Researchers sneakily observed 3,749 people in public restrooms and found that nearly all of them - 95% - didn't wash their hands long enough to kill germs.
Even scarier, 15 percent of men and 7 percent of women did not wash their hands at all. When they did bother to turn on a faucet, half of men and 22 percent of women neglected to use soap. Or, as the researchers describe it: They attempted to wash their hands, but failed.
