Perhaps, but did you ever hang out in a bathroom & notice how many idgits don't wursh der digits?

That anti-bacti slime never sees many paws, paws that smear the same handles, knobs, etc. that our higher order mitts share.

Also, take a good fresh garlic capsule every day or 12 hours, no better anti has or will ever be invented.

Do your own research, you'll be amazed!

Probably the biggest reason we don't eat out much. Seen what too many waitstaff don't do in the lav. ICK.

And people think I'm strange for opening the door with a paper towel when leaving the bathroom after washing my hands.

In our house, we use garlic oil caps.

I have to wonder if this bug is truly a 'virus'. This thing started working its way through the family. After the first 3 kids 'went down', it was time for kid #4 and myself to get it. At the first sign of nausea/'pushed through a knot-hole', I gave us half of 'cow pill'. It's a med for cattle who get 'scours'. Kid #5 and hubby got it, started the vomiting....they got 1/2 cow pill. Knocked it right out.

Just a FWIW. And the 'research' I've done on this med is that it works by killing some 'bad germs' so that the body's immune system can kick in and conquer.

Oh, BTW... this med is listed for use in treating bacterial enteritis caused by salmonella typhimurium, and escherichia coli (colibacillosis) and bacterial pnuemonia (shipping fever)

We use it for our horses who are allergic to penicillin.

I have a different theory about public restrooms. I know where my "little guy" has been, but I don't know where the hands of every single person that touches the faucet have been. Same for the door handle. I generally use my foot or elbow to flush, and my elbow to open the door. If the door opens in, I wait till someone opens it for me. The only time I wash is if the restroom has automatic faucets.

I read one study done on public computer keyboards. The most often found contaminant was human feces. (YUP!)
