Washing Hands And Pissing...

playing with my nuts right now.. should I wash my hands before or after?

 

Hahaha I do the paper towel thing too sometimes or just open the door on the way out with one finger, then alcohol gel up once outside. Alcohol gel won't kill some bugs though like C. Diff

 

In the year 2000.. There will be the Hoverbowl .. You wont need to worry about piss on the seats. Electromagnetism will hold the ass perfectly above the bowl and you can relieve yourself without ever coming on contact with the surface.

In the year 2000.. Doors will automatically open ..

 

I use my shirt/clothes to open public bathrooms.

Followed by paper to cover my ass.

Flush toilet with shoe, or urinal with elbow.

Turn on sink with 2 fingers.

Get angry at myself for even walking in there.

Penis usually cleanest part on male, for if you take shower you will just start, tuck it in, for it's daily hibernation.

 

Brb. Gotta take a leak.

 

i'm pretty sure the whole washing your hands idea isn't in place to protect you; it's there to protect anyone who may touch you afterward.

sure, your dick may be the cleanest part of your body. but shaking your hand is still safer after you touch it then wash off rather than after you wash off then touch yourself.

 

I'm curios, why do you all seem to think that the stuff in a public bathroom is any less safe to touch than an escalator rail, or doorknob, or shopping cart, or any number of hundreds of things you touch every day after many thousands of other people?


and using hand sanitizer all the time is actually counter productive and in the long wrong can do more harm than good.

 

I usually wash my hands whenever I get in from being out and about.

Why do you think hand hygiene is bad in the long run? Increased compliance in hospitals has decreased the spread of antibiotic resistant bugs.

 

Hand hygiene is good, when used in proportion. In a hospital it make more sense to wash your hands all the time, or better: at the appropriate times, for the sake of the patients (especially if you're a doc/nurse of course). For the average person in their daily life to do it ALL the time or as often as they can not so much.

 

in a hospital where the risks are exponentially greater it is a benefit but that is not a direct correlation to most people and their normal daily lives.
We have beneficial bacteria living on/in us as well, hand sanitizers indiscriminately kill the "good" ones as well as "bad" ones.

Another impact, and Tyreson touched on it, is that without challenges to our immune system, it will begin to lose efficiency and effectiveness.
There is a hypothesis that is gaining a lot of support and research continues to confirm that over the last 4-5 decades we have seen a dramatic increase in allergies in kids.
No, it's not fluoride, vaccines, chemtrails, or any other stupidity half of you are thinking of right now, it is simply that we live in much cleaner environments than previously.

In studies that followed children born/raised in urban/city setting compared with children raised in rural and farm settings. The finding were pretty dramatic and definite. The kids living on farms in contact with livestock and other aspects of that lifestyle developed far fewer allergies and generally had more robust immune systems whereas kids raised in "clean" environments were like 20-25% more likely to develop allergies and had immune systems that were not as fully developed or robust.

Immunology is developed by being exposed to an infectious agent and then your body will produce anti-bodies designed specifically for that virus and no other, That is why the more exposure a person has while growing to various possible infectious agents, the stronger their immune system will be.

The prevalent use of hand sanitizer was one of the things noted as contributing to the results found with the "clean" kids, so draw your own conclusions.

 

The solution to this door-opening,tap-turning quandry is actually very simple-go piss in a bush! :beatnik:

 

I'm only really familiar with the health care environment statistics.

Great post, makes sense

 

there's a story that belongs here, that was told by u utah philips. i'm afraid i'd just mangle it to crap if i tried to tell it. but it involved a resteraunt worker who always carried an extra spoon in his back pocket, so he wouldn't have to touch his thing to put it back in his pants.
