Show Washing and Microbes. Sir Alturolh Wright In a recent London Lon-don lecture said: "There Is a belief that by washing people wash off the microbes. We do take off a certain amount of microbes, but we slo destroy de-stroy the protective skin which Is all round our bodies like the tiles of house.
