(Faithit) Last Friday, registered nurse Molly Lixey posted a no-nonsense rant on Facebook about just how easily germs can spread—even when you’re wearing gloves. In the 3-minute video, the nurse from Saginaw, Michigan, does a demonstration with blue dye to illustrate her point.
“This is called cross-contamination,” says Lixey. “There’s no point in wearing gloves if you’re not gonna wash your hands every time you touch something. There’s no point, friends. So do whatever makes you feel safe, but remember there is some science here, and all this fear is just manifesting people into being crazy and not acting very smart.”
The video quickly went viral, amassing over 9 million views and counting.
