Quote from: Mr Bread on May 15, 2013, 04:03:39 PMQuoteAccording to a 2007 study in the Journal of Environmental Health, nearly 70% of the lemon wedges perched on the rims of restaurant glasses contain disease-causing microbes. When the researchers ordered drinks at 21 different restaurants, they found 25 different microorganisms lingering on the 76 lemons that they secured, including E. coli and other fecal bacteria. I almost can't drink water without a refreshing lemon slice in it. Should I switch to pop?

Quotebout 25% of public restroom dispensers are contaminated with fecal bacteria. Soap that harbours bacteria may seem ironic, but that's exactly what a recent study found. "Most of these containers are never cleaned, so bacteria grow as the soap scum builds up," says Charles Gerba, PhD. "And the bottoms are touched by dirty hands, so there's a continuous culture feeding millions of bacteria." Be sure to scrub hands thoroughly with plenty of hot water for 15 to 20 seconds - and if you happen to have an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, use that, too.

Unless you are using boiling water.

There's a guy in my office that purposely doesn't wash his hands, #1 or #2. He's like a super vegan or something. Thinks it's wrong to EVEN KILL GERMS.

He's the crazy guy in the office everyone just avoids. One time his boss told him his desk was too cluttered to he cleared every single thing off it except monitors, docking station, and mouse. Now it looks like no one sits there. Does have a name tag I guess.
There is more bacterial DNA in you and on you than human DNA. You don't need to be scared of them.
this thread isn't about if germs are good or bad, it's about places that have a crap ton of them.slot machines
