Disgusting

Interestingly, president George W Bush is finicky about cleaning after shaking hands. He shocked Barack Obama when they met the first time. Immediately after shaking hands with him, he sprayed a hand sanitiser, leaving Obama mortified

urban legend ?

In fact, a study conducted in West Bengal and Tripura

If I'm ever in West Bengal and Tripura, remind me not to eat or touch anything. I hope these stats are a little better in the U.S. I'm really hoping.

Does anyone think that this is why the hand picked
tomatoes cause disease and death here in the USA ?

Wait a minute, I’m supposed to wash my hands after?

[JavaJumpy]

Great timing - it’s only dinnertime here in some parts of the US! :)

"Interestingly, president George W Bush is finicky about cleaning after shaking hands. He shocked Barack Obama when they met the first time. Immediately after shaking hands with him, he sprayed a hand sanitiser, leaving Obama mortified. But as he later clarified, he was just getting rid of some germs on his hands!"

Bull scat.

In India as well as other countries in that region, the hand , right hand for that matter is the eating utensil,
left hand for other purposes, enough said, both need to be washed.

The entire world is turning into one gigantic pigsty.

I don't believe this story applies to Americans. I've been going in and out of men's restrooms for over 40 years and I think 99% of all men wash their hands after using the facilities.

As an aside: Is it just me or does anyone else notice that during a TV episode or movie once in a while a character will use the toilet, walk over to the sink, turn on the water then splash his face first. I saw Mulder do that once on the X-Files. Disgusting! Wash your hands with soap and water first, THEN splash your face. Yuk.

In an information age, this is an example of too much information.

[Spirochete]

Filthy habits are ingrained in third-worlders. They obstinately reject hygiene as a “western” concept to save their pride.

“Honey, don’t ever question my judgement again. I told you I don’t want Indian food, ever, OK?”

Memo to self: Cancel all future trips to India and ME.

Oh wait; I never planned on going to those *turd-world hellholes*, anyway. Nevermind.

My father was there during WWII and was warned not to eat anything outside of camp.

Well, one day he did.... a macaroon from a street vendor.....(he hasn't had one since)...

..He had dysentery so bad they sent him away to a hospital to recuperate...

The doctor treated him with arsenic in the AM, and mega doses of vitamins in the afternoon to counter the Arsenic....(or so he tells me)

[SunkenCiv]

This moving story makes me realize that 53 per cent of dumpers don’t wipe, and therefore don’t feel the need to wash.
