Now wash your hands
Don’t be lazy! Do it. You’ll be tempted not to. That’s me ALL THE TIME. I’ve been there. I spent most of my twenties with lax hand-washing, touring the pubs and clubs of the land, and their associated shabby toilets. So I also spent most of my twenties with urinary tract infections.
I got married and discovered the word ‘hygiene’.
Wash your hands!
And keep the cath sterile where possible.
