Why do you think personal hygiene is important for our health?

	Antiseptic

Bangladesh has a warm and humid climate naturally, this helps spreads germs fast. Especially places where sanitation is poor, there’s a lot of dust, pollution and unclean water. It is easy for the diseases to spread. Staying clean can keep us germ free and protect us from getting things like diarrhea, typhoid, and skin infections. It helps keep our skin and teeth healthy and also helps prevent any breathing issues. Then following the hygiene rules has become a must in our everyday life.

What are the most important hygiene habits you think everyone should practice daily?

Tooth Brush & Paste	Hand Wash

Some important hygiene habits that should be followed in Bangladesh. At first, the hands have to be washed a lot. For example before eating, after using the toilet, and after returning home. We’re carrying germs in our hands that can make us sick. Brushing teeth two times a day is also important because there is much spices and oils in our foods that damage teeth. Here taking a bath every day, particularly in hot weather, is important to avoid skin problems. Another habits to be healthy is wearing clean clothes, when nails are short, washing our face, hands, and feet before we sleep.

How does hygiene affect our relationships with others?

Body Wash	Mouth Wash

Cleanliness is a very big deal in Bangladeshi culture. People around us believe we are responsible and trustworthy when we keep ourselves clean. Healthy hygiene also helps us shape our healthy relationships. If at least one in the family does not clean himself and people just receive an unpleasant sensation of with such a person. It can hurt the relationship. At work or with friends, staying clean is being respectful towards other people. As guests, we go to peoples homes and bathe and wear clean clothes because we respect that person and their home.

How do cultural differences influence hygiene practices around the world?

Bath Soap

Hygiene habits vary from one country to another on the basis of the climate and culture of the country. Daily bathing and washing hands play important role in Bangladesh because we do sweat and dirty under hot weather. People in cold countries like Europe may not bathe everyday. In Bangladesh people eat with their hands, so a handwash before meals is vital. But in Western countries, people usually eat with forks and spoons, and pay less attention to washing hands. But people try to be clean differently based on their environment and culture.

What role do you think hygiene plays in preventing the spread of illnesses?

In Bangladesh, dengue, cholera, malaria and allergies are all common diseases, so hygiene is very important. Washing hand, wearing of the masK and keeping of the distance were hygiene habits that helped us control COVID-19. We should avoid standing water and keep our surroundings clean to prevent dengue. These methods can help in stopping the spread of the diseases in public come such as schools and markets and offices.
