Eli5 why do people say to wash dishes or your hands in warm water when cold slows down bacteria growth?
In: 722
It might be so that your hands are less likely to chap afterwards, as tiny little openings in your skin can be caused by rinsing under too-cold water (during colder seasons) or not rinsing for long enough (from unpleasant cold water, which can cause irritating soap to linger on your skin.)
