Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Washing hands after going to the restroom and before eating is essential to prevent helminthic infections, which are caused by parasitic worms that can be transmitted through fecal-oral contact. This can occur when hands or surfaces are contaminated with feces containing eggs, which are then ingested. The other choices do not directly address the prevention of helminthic infections.
