why is this even a question lol
I do a good scrub before and after every patient, before donning gloves, after using the bathroom and sometimes even before. It's no wonder my hands sometimes look raw or like dried husks. I'm only compulsive about it at work, though, and just out of necessity. At home I wash up after the bathroom and before cooking or working with foods that will be eaten by others. Otherwise, meh. I'm one of those people that prefer my nephew to get dirty and get exposed to germs to build up his immune system. What over-sanitizing can due to an immune system, imo, is just as bad as not sanitizing at all. Our bodies need to build resistance and the natural flora we all have needs balance.
I get all my bacteria from dirt and playing with worms lol.
But seriously, the reason I wash up is less for the bacteria and more to avoid spreading around any waste particles.
I wash my hands, even after going #1. In that instance, its more about washing my hands after touching the flush button and bathroom door than anything else.
Ever go into a pub where they have free nuts on the bar or somewhere there is a free buffet? How many people have had their hands in that bowl of nuts? How many of them do you think washed their hands after going toilet? How many different peoples pee have you been eating?
Neurosis and being susceptible to brainwashing is worse than being reasonably clean. I'm being serious in that you should really think about your obsessive need to follow and spread judgment. Being so deathly afraid of what people think is not healthy.
Where is everyone who never washes their hands? Come on, I know you're out there.
u r dirty
I wash my hands every time, except if I'm on a long highway and pee behind a tree. How this is dirty defies reason, so I'll have to do the reasoning for you:
1. Petrol/gas station bathrooms are the most filthy places on the planet. I don't want flecks of shit, and drying urine on the bottom of my shoes from highway restrooms transferring to my car's carpet.
2. I am not a messy pee-er. I don't get any of it on myself, and urine is sterile in any case.
3. Penises are not inside-out vaginas; they are not damp mucous membrane lined pockets of bacterial storage; they are covered in normal skin, and only produce moisture in a stream, out of a small opening at the end. Going #1 is no more bacterially significant than touching one's own wrist.
Hiding in their caves ashamed that their hands smell like feet.
Actually I find your comments about penises and vaginas a bit strange and inaccurate, but I will leave that out of this discussion. But I was really just kidding you about being dirty. No intention to actually troll you, just kidding around. Sorry.
