Dirty hands http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/ Has everyone forgotten about the immune system' It takes care of these things. http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-320486 2009-11-01 17:12:49 that's why you wash your produce REALLY well after you purchase it, or grow your own. i think of those things too. i constantly wash my hands. http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-310657 2009-09-13 17:12:53 I meant *sterilized lmfao! http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-298436 2009-07-05 07:28:11 This is normal, I'm a bit of hand washer myself. You can't be too careful. I see how it can become obnoxiously redundant though. And I agree that we would all perish if we sterikized everything but the point is that we can also get very sick if someone's fecal matter is on a bunch of grapes that we don't clean correctly. There is a line between sanitation and insanity...it's up to each individual to draw their own. Good Luck! ~Peace~ http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-298434 2009-07-05 07:26:46 ummmm well, think of it this way, if you dont ingest those germs and become immune to them, will that make you susceptible to something else in the future' and yeah, the wiping down of the shopping cart is a little weird.

It's GOOD to let bacteria and viruses into your body. I get sick like maybe once every 2 years. It's mostly just snot and sweat on those grocery baskets anyway... http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-277879 2009-01-01 00:28:06 I agree. Ew. But only whipe down the handle, not the whole cart. http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-276475 2008-12-14 15:10:59 Oh, wow. I prefer not to think about it. When you think about bacteria and viruses, things seem like they're alive (which they all are, covered in bacteria). I think it's ridiculous to have plastic covers for shopping carts and to make people wear gloves. Let's not let our immune systems get THAT out of practice.... How about, say, washing our hands after using the bathroom, wearing condoms for sex and not licking the floor or underneath a movie theatre seat' I think that's sufficient. http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-273157 2008-11-12 07:14:50 Well it's not a requirement as our current Food safely laws do not state we must have it but the supermarket had made a choice on it's own accord to introduce it. http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-268141 2008-10-05 22:36:20 Thats still necessary even before theyve dropped Junk http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-268032 2008-10-05 02:43:09 Wow that is the first time I have ever heard of such a thing. Why is this a "requirement'" http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-267952 2008-10-04 20:32:26 sorry. Brings back bad memories. In fairness, I WILL try and stop. Corrected, and for the better for it - Thanks. :) The Divine Ms. O. http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-267949 2008-10-04 20:21:37 It is not good to think about these things but it does help to keep your immune system working. We cant have it totally sterile or wed all die. http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-267934 2008-10-04 16:47:28 Over here they have this kind of trash bag thingy that goes over a shopping cart and when you get to the cashier - they would remove the bag revealing the new one below. Shoppers also have disposable gloves provided which they must wear at all times while shopping. Which I think it an excellent idea to minimise contamination. @ Tobra - I don't see why you must continue on this little crusade against the United Kingdom. http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-267932 2008-10-04 16:41:38 You obviously reside in britain - live with it. T. http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-267905 2008-10-04 13:07:32 i actually agree with you (minus the wiping down the shopping cart part). You should wear gloves and get that antibacterial hand sanitizer gel, and maybe buy packaged food' http://isitnormal.com/story/dirty-hands-24525/#comment-267903 2008-10-04 12:26:16
