Full Title: Do YOU believe in the three second rule? Scientists reveal whether food dropped on the floor is safe to eat (if it's picked up quickly enough)
If you have a Lab....there is no such thing as a 3 sec rule.

Especially if you drop a rock.....:)

The 3 second rule is fine. The old 5 second rule was absolutely disgusting.

Lab? Try a beagle, I think that is how they calculated nano-seconds.
Can’t figure out how to post pictures.

A study of the “5 second rule” received an IgNobel Prize:

PUBLIC HEALTH: Jillian Clarke of the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences, and then Howard University, for investigating the scientific validity of the Five-Second Rule about whether it’s safe to eat food that’s been dropped on the floor.

I never thought people really believed that. I thought people just said it as a joke because they didn’t care if there were a few pieces of dirt now stuck to the food. Seriously, people really thought nothing would stick if it was picked up quickly?

A young nurse gave me hell for not making people bath in sanitizer when they visited me and my first. I was actually brought to tears by her anti-germ diatribe. An older nurse set me straight and told me I had nothing to fear. My kids have literally never been sick.

I pull up radishes tap the dirt off and eat them, Onions, Garlic same same ... I have eaten Apples off the ground, Oranges, Grapefruit, Cucumbers, Melons etc.
Anyone that has eaten a Raisin has eaten it far after the 3 second rule.
As my ol Survival Instructors used to tell me after I ask “Can I eat this?” their reply “Will it make a turd?”
gnight all
