What occurs if one does not wash his hands?[1]

If one did not wash his hands after any of the above actions, then if he is a Torah scholar, he will forget his learning. If he is a layman he will lose his mind.[2]

[1] See See Sefer Shemiras Haguf Vihanefesh [Lerner] 54:23 and 24 footnote 40

[2] This means to say that he will come to sin, as one does not sin unless a spirit of insanity enters him. [Elya Raba 4:13; Kaf Hachaim 4:89]
