The session started with a basic face cleaning activity. The hygiene of hair, skin, face, teeth, ears, hands and feet, nails and cuticles, and other important parts of the body were discussed in detail. The various infections, microbes, bacteria and math about their rate of growth in one day were also calculated to give a clearer picture. They also found the answers to Why? How? When? And what? The students were also shown photos of real-life infections to create awareness about the consequences of poor hygiene. Practical tips to stay safe and maintain a hygiene routine was also discussed.
