"excellent" (in Mr. Burns' voice)

The outside door handle of a public restroom has 400x's more germs than the interior door handle.

Air dryers usually pull air from the floor of the restroom, blowing (warm & moist) air directly onto your hands, creating a perfect breeding ground for the milions bacteria that used to reside on the floor.

eek!
I knew about the dirty handles, but the air dryers. :bleh:

Is there a Bellevue out here too? :headscratch:
I didnt know it was a chain asylum.

from a nursing student perspective:

the purpose of hospitals is to treat the ill, stabilize them, and send them home healthy. but little do they know they might be harboring microorganisms. NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS!

nosocomial infections are infections developed during a hospital stay and affect 10% of all hospitalized patients. so you go to the hospital to get better, and end up with an infection because you went to the hospital in the first place to get better. huh?? scary!!! make sure your nurse washes his/her hands and applies gloves before he/she examines you. nurses are usually the link for transferrance.

now go, and spread the word... (sorry for the pun)

I saw this on mythbusters. Everytime you do your business and flush the toilet, you end up spreading a lot of germs in the air. In their tests, they had fecal germs on their toothbrushes even if it was far away from the bathroom. :bleh: :bleh:

Did you brush your teeth this morning? :hehe:
