Answer:

Regarding what is written, it would be considered true if the antibacterial soap used has the real capacity to kill 99.9% of bacteria.

Explanation:

The bacteria that survive, which would be 1% are considered to be the most pathogenic bacteria, which is why it may be that if Wendy continues having this habit, the health of her hands will worsen since she may suffer from opportunistic infections or possible dermatitis.

It is important in determining whether injuries/death was an accident or purposeful, and if purposeful, who, how and why did someone do it. They determine the weapon through the ligature marks left, the shape, force and impact of the injury, the location of the injury, and by analysing any fragments and trace evidence left on the wound
