dangerous brain Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Whats the point in worrying about all this when the toothbrush generally carries more germs than pi55 and door handles and all that stuff? if your bog is in the bathroom, ie, bog, sink and bath/shower, the toothbrush holder is normally higher than the bog - when you have a dump, then wipe and flush, them pooh particles bounce up around the room (clingy little fellers). then, all that happens after meals? before bed? 1st thing in the morning is.......... stick the said brush under a dribble of water bang some paste on, then stick it in ya gob? sh1t, must remember to move my toothbrush:d They did a myth busters on this and proved that there would be no more poo on your toothbrush if you parked it right next to the toilet than if you hermetically sealed it after use in another room. Sorry Nice and aggressive, thanks. Thats not aggression my dearest that is just being Frank (even though my name is actually Bryan not Frank) Obviously I agree that a higher element of cleanliness is a pre-requisite of working in the medical/dental profession but when those levels are applied to every environment we find ourselves in by the proliferation of paranioa you almost make that level of hygeine obsolete as bugs and virus naturally get stronger to survive, meaning that you would then need a whole new level of hygiene to prevent infections in hospitals. This is displayed nicely by the practice of over-subscribing of anti-biotics creating super virus's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 However had you adopted the same so called lack of hygeinic principles as your neighbours you'd probably have survived alot better. I'm from a first world country where we have basic sanitation. I guess dysentry etc is a made-up disease then That or died there's no middle ground, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger lol. Snap your spine and come back to me about that. My point in this case is that the reason you got ill is primarily because you sterilise your environment so much you are now imprisoned in that sterile world because you can't tolerate germs due to your incessant cleaning routine removing all forms of germs. If you saw the state of my kitchen at home you wouldn't be accusing me of living in an antiseptic bubble I assure you. You've made a false dichotomy here though, either you scrub yourself raw in an OCD fashion or you eat food with shit-covered fingers. Are you seriously seeing things in that level of black and white? Really? You want to go on some anal hygeine regime don't expect me to mirror it just because I will make you ill by shaking your hand, get over yourself or get a seclusion zone just don't enforce your paranoia on me. [/qUOTE] Well that's fine but I'll treat you like a leper. Although, it does mean I can sneeze, cough, and spit on you and you'll ignore or even welcome it (if it doesn't kill you etc), and I can also coil one off on your car/doorstep and you'll just pick it up and put it to one side. Excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I agree that we use too much sterilising/hygiene related products these days, and i am quite convinced that it leads to heightened sensitivity to common germs/viruses that people 30 years ago would not even notice. No 'quite' about it, fact that is. Dangerous Brain is spot on there. I've only got to look at the cats to see the proof. They lick each others bums, clean themselves with their mouths, eat various animals and dead things from outside and never get anything like a common cold. Still, they only live for 20 years as our own hygiene (plus technology) has pushed ours life expectancy up and up over the years. 1800's you did well if you lived to 50.

Scoboblio Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 either you scrub yourself raw in an OCD fashion or you eat food with $#@!-covered fingers............. and I can also coil one off on your car/doorstep and you'll just pick it up and put it to one side. Excellent. Personally I find it strange that when asked about hygiene, so many people hark back to the 'good old days' when no-one washed their hands or brushed their teeth, a large percentage of new mothers died of septicaemia, and we all lived to the ripe old age of 48. Ahhh but we were happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
