I will not eat food people touch! Okay well this has been going on for a while and It kinda bugs me because it holds me back from eating good that was touched. I won't eat food my family touches or anyone. Even if people's hands are clean, I feel like when they touch it their skin sticks to the food, and I don't like eating skin. It's really certain foods such as sandwiches, and other things. Some things that are touched I don't really mind but then again I do so I try not to think about this. It bothers me because many people think I'm weird because of this, and I only know one person who is the same and I think he only started this because he likes me. I'm scared what this will lead me to even know I cant help it! Is this normal, if its not then please tell me how do I get over this issue!!!

    I'm the same way. I'm the only one in my family that washes my hands before I touch food. My nasty sister will use the toilet, not flush or wash her hands, then open a bag of chips and plunge her hand right in. It's disgusting! I make sure I dump some chips out on a plate next to my sandwich (that I made myself with clean hands) instead of plunging my germy hand in the chips. I'm the only one that sees this as a health hazard too. And she's always sick and can't figure out why. I'm never sick. And if it isn't possible to use hand sanitizer or wash up before I eat something, I use the wrapper as a guard between my hand and the food or I wait until I am near soap and water. I'm not nasty like my sister is. I don't see what's so hard about washing one's hands so you don't contaminate the food for everyone else.

    Well remember... human contact to food isn't bad. As long as hands are washed properly there's no issues.

    and this is according to most health codes I've seen. No requirements against handling cooked food with your bare hands as long as you wash your hands properly and aren't wearing fake nails, rings etc.

    Well sorry to tell you but dead skin cells are all over the place you should be afraid of even breathing if you dont like eating skin.
