Using cash machines…withdrawing money from ATM machines is a common habit for most of us, especially in Kampala.

However, cleanliness tests in Britain recently revealed that cash machines are just as dirty as public toilets, and many of us are failing to wash our hands after using them.

The experts from Britain (United Kingdom) assessed swabs from the key pads on cash machines and also from nearby public toilets and found out that they both contained the same types of bacteria known to cause sickness. To look after your health, use an antibacterial hand gel once you have made your withdrawal and after handling money.
