Utter Paranoia

Public John! Who is this fellow, and why is he contaminating our shopping carts?
Why, he's keeping our immune systems healthy by introducing all kinds of new bugs to recognize, and deal with!

If you're serious about not ingesting all sorts of bugs, there is a Golden Rule (told to me by a health care professional):
Do not touch your face!
You have all sorts of attractive apertures on your head, and once transferred from your hands, the bugs will get in!
If you must touch your face, wash your hands thoroughly first!

It's just our good luck that the really bad diseases are not airborne - yet.
 
I was in Costco today and the young woman ahead of me with her brood had 1 y/old twins in the cart seat, one was munching on the handrail. She of course was more interested in her cellphone than parenting.

I don't think so

Oh they do exist... tho not as much as they did back in the 80s and 90s. At least they helped keep your car safer. You want yer quater back... then put the cart where it belongs. And diesn't mean in the side of my car or where they don't belong.

The only benefit of not having coin operated shopping carts is jobs. Someone has to fetch them from down the street or your front yard. LOL
 
I think history will show that these 99.9% germ killers in soft soap and such will be our undoing. That 0.01% will always come back more resistant. It's better to wash often with just soap and water and let some of the harmless buggers have their home. Their presence often keeps worse things from taking up residence. And yes, avoid hand to moist area transference, like eyes and lips.
 
I always figured that if you're killing the germs off before they get to you, then how are you going to develop resistance and natural immunity to them? A little dirt is good for you.
 
Hobbits have enough germs to Kill most humans anyway.. :icon_lol:
So I don't worry about any of this..:a1310:
Hey, if your feet were covered in fur you would not have be concerned either..:icon_eek:
 
Went to dinner with the wife last night (early birthday celebration) and noticed an interesting gadget in the men's room. It was a hand-wave motion sensor that opens the entrance door automatically when you leave, so you don't have to touch the door handle with your (hopefully) freshly-washed paws. Nice feature for germophobic folks. :rolleyes:

all of our shopping trollys are pound coin operated with the clip system thing. Slot another clip from the trolly infront to get your pound coin (or pound coin shaped piece of metal) back. :)

My Mrs bought these new Dettol motion activated soap dispensers for the kids bathrooms. A complete gimmick....I mean what's the point?? Even if you were to use the old manual pump dispenser you still wash your hands AFTER you've used it!:icon_lol:
 
Apparently there are more germs on the steering wheel of your car than on your toilet bowl...
