Abstract: This study examines the temporal dynamics of DNA shedding from human hands following handwashing, with a focus on its implications for forensic touch DNA recovery. The research investigates fluctuations in DNA levels over time post-handwashing and highlights significant individual differences in shedding patterns. Statistical analysis revealed that DNA recovery levels at 30 minutes post-handwashing were significantly higher than those at 5 minutes (p
