Eve and Ethan tackle a question that went viral this week – what’s so bad about not washing your hands after going  number 1? The presenters of the popular Mean Girl podcast were lambasted online for admitting they think washing your hands after peeing is pointless. The clip has more than 7 million views on Twitter and hundreds of thousands of comments attacking the pair’s ‘vile’ behaviour. Eve and Ethan quiz someone we’re calling Rebecca about why she’s one of the 25% of Britons who don’t bother washing, while Professor Sally Bloomfield, Chair of the International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene, explains why it IS so crucial.
