I can't figure out if this means the French are improving their hygiene or if they are becoming even stinkier. The numbers seem too high nonetheless ... IMO

Did they track how many even use toilets?
Per fumed.
Pretty sure that 10 years ago, in the U.S., the percentage that don’t wash after using the bathroom was 39%.
...but, that’s because they shower daily....
French by decent or French by immigration?
Guess it’s better not to get anything that is truly genuine, “authentic french”. You’ll be getting a lot more than you bargained for.
Reminds me of the chef who said “I like to put a little bit of me in every dish.”
I'll bet those same people are the ones that write blogs.

I can’t speak for everyone, of course. But *my* Dad trained me, at a young age, how not to pee on my hand. :-)
>> no sink
Why would you NEED a sink in a missile nosecone?
>> I’d say easily 50% of the students and staff don’t wash after using the bathroom where I work.
I hope you don’t work in a culinary school.
I must admit that I’m not as fanatical about hygiene as some people. Showering every day dries out the skin, bath oil and lotion or not. Every other day, with washing up on the off day works for me. Of course, I’ve always had a home office and didn’t go out amongst the public every day. Husband is even nastier than I am. Handwashing frequently, especially after going to the bathroom and before eating is a good idea. A few germs will do you good. - A few years ago, I read a newspaper article by a doctor that advised, in fact, not to shower every day because of dry skin. I also read that actually soap and water isn’t the panacea that some claim; that really the friction of rubbing the hands together under warm running water for a while is what dispenses with the germs. Unlike Michelle, I wish people to do as they like, no matter how dry their skin gets. :o) - Best regards, Stinky Twinkie
It’s one of my favorite punch lines when somebody thinks they’re being cute, and ask if I’d washed.
“I didn’t pee on them.”
That answer is insufficient regarding “other” business.....
That’s only roughly 3%. I bet we have far more than that here that don’t shower.
I hate public restrooms. People run their hands under the water with no soap, or use soap and wash for about half a second, and that’s “clean” for them.
I thank God for bleach and disinfectants.
..and if you're not careful,
It stick to your cheeks
You smell like a native
For a couple of weeks

I thought this was fitting. (I couldn't help myself.)
Ping!
