But, for some reason many people seem to think that washing one's hands after going to the bathroom or before preparing a meal isn't necessary. I guess they have to SEE poop on their hands before realizing their hands "might" be germy and making the big decision to wash up.

Go figure.]]>Jul 16th 2007 3:43PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/Jul 16th 2007 4:12PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/Believe it or not, since cell phones have been out I have heard a good maybe 100 guys using the cellphones in the toilet with them as they take "a dump." I'm usually at the urinal. Only about less than 10 of them have stopped at the sink to wash their hands. Even of the 10, they still didn't stop talking on the phone. I'm wondering if this is how that eColi Spinach outbreak started by some guy taking a cell phone into the bathroom. This is just plain nasty. It hasn't happened in the bathroom of a restaurant yet. If it did, I'd run out of there and never visit that restaurant again unless I wanted to die. Even if he didn't work at that restaurant, he has to touch the door knob or door handle to get out of there. Think about it and how many germs he could spread to make people die.

LOL I was beginning to think I was the only one that had issues with this type of behavior. I remember being in the lady's room years ago (when cell phones were much more expensive and fewer people had them) a woman in the stall next to me was peeing, she answered the phone!! I was STUNNED!!

Just like the men Ralph mentioned in his post, if some man called me while he was "taking a dump" I can tell you that that phone conversation would be extremely short as in "I can't believe you would call me while going to the bathroom", say good bye and to not call me again.

People only mention doorknobs, don't forget about the faucet handles. Some people just run their hands under water for a quick blast and that does NOTHING. I turn them on normally, but when it comes time to shut them off and they require twisting, I use my papertowel to shut the water off, then use the same papertowel to open the door if there is a knob. No papertowel? Then I use TP...maybe management will get the hint!]]>Jul 16th 2007 3:59PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/ Just ask yourself this, how have we manged to have the phone for over 100 years without any discernable fatalitys?
Of course AOL would like you to go to one of its sponsors for your cleaning needs, they want you to run not walk to the Germicide aisle and buy buy buy ! In reality you should not avoid germs or you will never build up immunities when you need them and get sick all your adult life. Let your kids play in the dirt, it's good for them.]]>Jul 16th 2007 4:08PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/
Ive also done some research and am able to say...If public phones are touching your face then you maybe using it wrong, its also why you look at the reciever before you put it to your ear.
Money...you would be suprised how much dirt you would wash off your hands just after 30 mins of handling money. Thats would be why i dont eat or tounch my face if i handle money.

And door handles...we all know about ]]>Jul 16th 2007 4:00PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/Jul 16th 2007 4:01PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/Jul 16th 2007 4:19PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/Jul 16th 2007 7:43PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/manufacture some of these cheap cellular phones, it's not like the Feds inspect the ingrediants in these phones from China, they could be made out of anything.
Don't go out and buy a bunch of Germicides, thats what AOL's sponsors want you to do.
No, germs in the phone are not going to kill you.
Let your kids play in the dirt, it's good for them.

I'm convinced that some city types unknowingly
lower their immunity to common bugs because they haven't been exposed to them. They keep themselves in a sterile environment and don't build up immunities to common bacterias when they are young. Enough said..JD]]>Jul 16th 2007 5:34PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/http://www.switched.com/2007/07/16/cell-phones-causing-skin-infections/Jul 16th 2007 4:30PM
