No Germs vs Go Germs
Most bathrooms open up inwards right, so lets us picture a scenario when one has to visit the bathroom. You open up the door, you close the door behind you, you do your thing and then you are about to leave the bathroom, what do you do? You need to wash your hands of course everybody know that. Let’s break it down step by step. You turn the tap on, you wash your hands with soap and really make sure you have done it thoroughly and then what, you need to turn the tap off, the same tap you have just turned on with your contaminated hands, is it really a point in washing your hands when you will regain the same germs when you’re done and even tough you solve the tap problem you would still need to face the door out of the bathroom. You need to touch the doorknob/handle to get out, the same doorknob that you and every other person have touched when leaving. The only solution to this would be to wait for someone else to do their business to quickly get out.
Do you see the problem? A totally waste of time if you ask me, some germs makes you stronger. Only when there is an epidemic I will start using antibacterial, germ killing and sterilizing soaps every ten minutes like some crazy fanatic, but not before then, before then I will gladly play ignorant and naive and simply hope I am lucky enough not to regain too many germs jumping back on to my hand when turning off the tap. But I guess mum taught me everything when I was little, letting me eat shiiit loads of snow as well as sand, although yellow snow was off limit.(“,)Love you mammy!
My whole point is that people shouldn’t be so fanatic about sanitizing everything at all times, we will soon end up with some super germ that will be immune to it all any way and our immune capacity will decrease so the long term outcome will not be as great as the intentions to start protecting our selves once were. It is sort of funny trying to survive something that has been alive millions of years before us and survived everything so far, is this really a fight we can win?
Come back to me when you know the solution to the doorknob problem!
