    Just remember to always pour a reviis when washing and you avoid the problem.

Actually, it's a dispute if this "off limits" area starts at the knuckles, or at the wrist.

Mostly it's taken as the wrist, where the arm begins, like a tube.

I have not seen anybody discuss the fact that the edge of this parallel tube changes locations as you move your hand in a waving motion.
