Jaralee said that, while it is gross, it was important to share. "I have an 8-month-old who has gotten sick so much since winter started. Plus, my husband and I are always getting sick too. It comes with the job to a certain extent, but hand-washing is so important in order to stay healthy. I just wanted to send out a friendly reminder to my friends to wash their hands," she explained. She posted the experiment on Facebook and it now has over 60,000 shares.
