Makes you want to travel wearing marigolds!:crazy:
my hubby thinks i’m mad as i wont hold onto the rails on public stairways or push the shop doors open by the handles! Guess this report on bbc just proves me right:D
I went to a restaurant a couple of weeks ago where the sink and soap were within the toilet area, but the hot air hand-drier was outside so that it could be shared by both men and women. Basically, you wash your hands and then have to pull open a door by the handle, which other less sanitary individuals have grabbed and smeared with their detritus in order to dry your hands.
It’s not just these bacteria, it’s colds, coughs, etc. My sick record over the last few years with this type of illness is less than half what it was before I went back to commuting by bike. Not surprising really, stuck in a metal box for 2 hours a day with a hundred other people, any number of whom will at any time be suffering from some illness or other you’re bound to catch some of them. :sick:
It’s all good for the immune system. Shoving my wheelchair round the streets and then picking up a sarnie at Greggs or summat… well… the amount of dog turd I must have eaten over the years doesn’t bear thinking about. You’re all wusses lol :w00t:
