Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine which water temperature was most successful in the removal of pathogenic growth from handwashing. The experiment consisted of three participants which include: Taylor Pumo, Rebekah George, and Lexi Vendl. There were two procedures involved in this experiment. The first procedure was washing the left hand with…
