If they get pee on them, I rinse them off{love the George Carlin quote, btw}. I do use antibacterial soap after cutting up raw chicken or pork, but not necessarily with beef ( I've been know to eat it raw with a shake of salt). I have always avoided the whole sterilization of my environment because germs are necessary. I have NEVER gotten food poisoning, never get the flu, might get one mild cold per year. The people I know that are germaphobes get sick all the time, and all this use of antibacterial everything is actually leading to antibiotic RESISTANT germs...I sit on public toilet seats, (saw once on the Doctor's I believe, that the area around our mouth is far dirtier than a public toilet seat, or even our anus-they did this swabbing thing and had all the swabs analyzed) germs are necessary for health as far as I'm concerned...

And I run the tap too, Haha. But I shower everyday so I feel that makes up for it. I don’t always wash my hands either! And I run the tap too, Haha.

Personally, I have to wash my hands after every trip to the bathroom. In puplic places, it's 'wash hands then sanitize after exiting premisis.' I'm one of those people who carries Germ-X in their purse. To see that this many people are in favor of faking hand-washing is kind of gross in a way, however, I guess the reasoning is somewhat logical. You could also just find hand soap that is perscribed for chronic dryness of the skin, otherwise, running the water to fake your handwashing is a waste. Conserve water, people. Conserve. If your friends look at you awkwardly because they're creepily listening for the faucet as you're in the bathroom, tell 'em you have hand sanitizer. Either way you're lying, but it's whatever floats your boat. Hm. Personally, I have to wash my hands after every trip to the bathroom.

Dry skin can't just be fixed with lotion, take it from me, I have chronic eczema, and I cant wash my hands too often because the base from the soap makes my skin hurt. Too much hand washing makes your bodies natural defenses weaker. You aren't going to get dangerous infections, and die from not washing your hands after using the the toilet. If that was true, most of us would be dead already just from using the telephone, which has loads more germs, because think, how often do you wash your bathroom vs. washing your telephone? Chill.

A ) I work in the food industry, I am a baker.. While at work I wash my hands many many MANY times a day... And always after I use the washroom.. simply because I can not risk contaminating someone's food... and I am anal ( pun not intended ) about how cleanly my kitchen is run. I wash my hands after almost everything I do to avoid cross-contamination of food products, I wash my hands because they are sometimes full of flower or shortning ( I am a baker ). With that said... Germaphobes need to back off. It has also been proven that washing your hands and living in a "too cleanly" environment makes you more susceptible to colds/flus you name it.. Our bodies NEED germs in order to build up our immune system and be ready to fight off something really wicked if/when it comes around. When you take away germs.. your body get's weak... and than the smallest little germ that would be harmless to someone normal, will kill you. Over-sanitization is in my eyes worse than being a tad bit dirty. Yes I keep my bake shop clean as heck.. but this is out of respect for allergies and cross contamination and for my own piece of mind. Away from my bake shop I will only wash my hands after I poop, and I have no problem if someone I know has put their finger in my soup, or if my sandwhich has fallen on the floor.. I never get sick, I never transfer germs to anyone ( as in my family does not catch colds that go around my offices, and my office workers do not catch colds my family has caught ) I haven't killed anyone.. and ya know what.. I like it :) I don't wash my hands after sex, I don't wash my hands before I cook my meals unless they are actually dirty ( as in.. Oh hey I just changed the oil in my car... there is grease and crap all over my hands.. I should wash them ). Live life on the wild side will ya? and give your immune system some credit.. It's there for a reason.. USE IT. The rare times I do get sick, I will wash my hands often, as well as purell and what not since I have cold germs that are flying everwhere.. but hell it's so rare that I don't have to worry... OH and watch time-warp.. even when you sneeze you are spewing germs across the room faster than you realize.. no stopping that.. OH And your tooth brush will always... ALWAYS have fecal matter on it... AND when you talk to someone you are spitting on them all the time, and kissing your bf/gf will swap tonnes of spit. and hell just sleeping in your bed is rolling around in dead skin cells and germs.. OMG we can't touch anything or talk to anyone or kiss.. OMG no kissing? Get a life.. stop obsessing... Use paper towel to open the washroom door if you are that afraid and STOP WASHING YOUR DAMNED HANDS OK I have to put my two cents in… A ) I work in the food industry, I am a baker..
