hand washing???

[BadgeBunny]

There's a lot of dirty wigglesticks wiggling about, you might want to find your way to the exit.

and therein lies my problem, if you will ... Think back ...

Your "wigglestick" by itself is not going to carry any harmful bacteria by itself. It's bacteria that naturally grows there is part of the normal human flora(naturally occuring bacteria) that is on your entire body.

maybe not to you but no one wants your anti-baterial "thing" on your hands touching them...

Funny thing happened at the State fair. My 13 year old was walking out of restroom and I told him go back and was your hands. At about the same time a older guy walking beside him said Oh sorry and went back to wash his! It was hilarious!

Ha, this one will probably get some interesting responses. But urine is sterile, so unless you keep your unmentionables the same way you keep a landfill, there is no need to wash your hands. Going numero dos is another story. The natural bacteria growing in the doo can be bad for you, so you definitely need to wash after that. One's a play ground and the other is a sewage treatment plant, i'll leave it at that.

Ha, why is this on a shooting forum again?

Not all urine is sterile...

You would'nt be missing if you "bore-sighted" your equipment correctly!

When im at work i wash before and after, i heard stories from one of the guys i work with what the stayclean (acid we use to clean before we solder) will feel like on your personal parts, same guy has burns on his leg from spilling some on his pants and doing nothing about it.

Every time, home or work or public. Unless there's no soap/towels, etc.

Then I head to the car to get the bottle of sanitizer.


And for those who say it isn't necessary, then what would you think about your doctor or surgeon not washing up before they came to examine you????

I wash my hands a lot during the day.

Working in a hospital, I don't trust anything I touch. People coughing, sneezing, wiping their noses, touching other body parts, and then grabbing door handles, stairway handrails, elevator buttons, etc....no telling what's out there.

When I get back to my desk, I have a super sized dispenser of hand sanitizer from Sam's.

And I almost never get sick.

If the sink looks like someone used it as a urinal, I don't wash. I don't care how sterile someone's urine is.

Here's my outlook,

"John" just dropped a duece, John's hands are now a germ playground.
John turns on water.
Valves have now come in contact with his germ hands.
John washes his hands to the strictest of standards. Hell, he sings happy birthday SIX times!
John now turns off the water, touching the germ ridden valves again.
John now operates the lever of the paper towel dispenser.
Paper towel dispenser now is filled with germs.
John leaves the restroom and touches door handle infecting the door handle.


Oh now multiply this by thousands of Johns. Yeah, no thanks. I avoid touching anything but my own body. I even open doors with my feet.
