- AmyVernon, on 09/05/2008, -0/+35OK, no one with OCD can read this article:
"Ninety percent of you is composed of germ cells." - inactive, on 09/06/2008, -0/+29dugg for linking to printer-friendly version
- norman619, on 09/06/2008, -1/+26Your skin is crawling with germs. Your mouth is infested with them. We don't live in a sterile world so why is this a big deal?
- whimmel, on 09/06/2008, -0/+23This is why I have an immune system.
- grumpy1377, on 09/06/2008, -1/+23they forgot the modern computer keyboard

- gitrplaya4u, on 09/06/2008, -1/+13AIDS kills you.
- inactive, on 09/06/2008, -1/+1311. Your keyboard
- Typhoon2009, on 09/06/2008, -0/+12""Knuckle it or wait for someone else to push it for you." "
My mother instilled that into me. Anyway, I rarely get sick, so all these germs must be simply boosting my immune system's capabilities :)
Also, airplane bathrooms? Please. This reporter should go to some crappy gas station (the older it looks the better) and ask to use the bathroom. I swear, gas station bathrooms (especially those on the highway) are the gates of hell. - Murdats, on 09/06/2008, -0/+11it builds character
- Ravatar, on 09/06/2008, -6/+17George Carlin's thoughts on germs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y-yH_Qyipc
RIP - getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -0/+11You can roll down a hill a lot faster than someone with all those limbs in the way, making you a much stronger competitor in hill rolling events.
- malex, on 09/06/2008, -0/+11"I touch filthy and disgusting things every day! Don't I, honey?"
- lngarrett, on 09/06/2008, -0/+9As opposed to the ancient computer keyboard?
- LongShlong, on 09/06/2008, -1/+10It isn't. Germs are good for you... In fact, for instance, dog owners get sick less because dogs bring more germs into the house, therefore strengthening the owner's immune system. Either you rely on your own body to passively defend itself, or you consciously do it with sanitizers, wipes and other stupid *****.
- f3rg, on 09/06/2008, -0/+7How will your body learn to fend of germs if it never comes in contact with them? Seriously, people obsess over the most pointless things.
- zenithmbr, on 09/06/2008, -0/+6i do not touch airplane bathrooms everyday.
- Nintendesert, on 09/06/2008, -0/+6But we do go around playing in the mud.
- alex7575, on 09/06/2008, -1/+7I'm just glad penises are not on that list. I'm gonna tell you I touch mine quite often...
- chrisduser, on 09/06/2008, -0/+6Who cares? For germs our immune system can't handle, there is medical treatment. For germs which neither can handle, you are *****. But don't worry, the chances of hat are the same as getting hit by an helicopter while listening to your mp3 player. That has only happened to one person since helicopters and mp3 players have came into production.
- basye, on 09/06/2008, -0/+6Magazines in doctors' offices and clinics. The other day I watched a woman who was coughing and sneezing profusely, pull out one of the perfume cards in a mag, wipe it all over her neck and hands, then place it back. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, to watch a middle-aged woman violate the germ rules in this way with complete disregard for others. Needless to say I shall never pick up a community mag again!
- tomjunlee, on 09/06/2008, -2/+7This list is making me paranoid...
Like... I TOUCHED THIS keyboard. - bfj420, on 09/06/2008, -0/+5I live my life by that philosophy. If you are constantly exposed to contaminated things, you'll strengthen your immune system and become "stronger". I can't remember the last time I was sick. But all the people I work with who insist on keeping "sanitary" are sick way more than me.
- norman619, on 09/06/2008, -1/+6Wrong :)
- tommyhat, on 09/06/2008, -1/+6Good ol' fashioned american fear mongering.
Ninja Edit: Wait... 'Things you touch every day: Yoga mats' ...Really? - NJank, on 09/06/2008, -0/+4he explained the link.
- inactive, on 09/06/2008, -0/+4For those of you who have kids, remember this, when the kid says, "Surprise! mommy. daddy I made breakfast"
- dogslayeggs, on 09/06/2008, -0/+4:)
- jakethelake, on 09/06/2008, -1/+5How many of us go to the bathroom on an airplane everyday...
No, seriously... how many of us? - scalded, on 09/06/2008, -1/+4You don't need to "play in trash" because you've decided not to live in a completely germ-free world. You should just reduce exposure when its convenient, but attempting to sterilize your environment is futile.
If you read the article and you think it's a good idea to carry around disinfectant wipes to sterilize supermarket shopping carts or mash elevator buttons with a clenched fist, you have a problem. - dalnet22, on 09/06/2008, -1/+4That doesn't mean we can go around playing in trash.
- MotoFly, on 09/06/2008, -0/+3Actually it just lowers the immune system's resistance to other infections. So technically AIDS really does not kill you. And it certainly does not make you stronger.
- WiseWeasel, on 09/06/2008, -1/+4Meh, I'd suspect the person who plays in trash, especially from an early age, to have a more healthy immune system than one raised to "reduce exposure". Let the rug rats eat their daily recommended dose of dirt, I say.
- Molle7, on 09/06/2008, -0/+3OGC
- holyskeleton, on 09/06/2008, -0/+3"According to Gerba, there are 200 times more fecal bacteria on a cutting board than a toilet seat."
why don't they just use the toilet seat as the cutting board then. - LongShlong, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2How? Dogs are filthy animals; think of the amount of ***** they bring in, literally and metaphorically.
- ry4nsm1th, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2Ummm common sense that these would have germs on them?
- inactive, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2every time you randomly type the word "like" for no reason you touch it 4 extra times!
- jayrok, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2"I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way."
- dalnet22, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2I expected money to top this list.
- Versh, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2Earth belongs to the microbes, always have, always will. If you're interested in a introductory, yet comprehensive history, try A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson.
- ChayD, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2Perhaps they can afford a learjet brought with money they made from writing scaremongering articles about microbes.
- ginestony, on 09/06/2008, -1/+3GERM-MONGERER!!
- qetuo, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2I dugg because it linked to the printer version, thankyou!
- inactive, on 09/06/2008, -1/+3spray everything with lysol. then the 0.01% of the germs it does not kill will breed as lysol resistant.
- fr0mundacheese, on 09/06/2008, -1/+31st Douche
- brianara3, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1... From Daft Punk
- blipblipbeep, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1Are you a bee keeper?
Lol sorry.
Love mode... Beep! - cheesechoker, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1Scaremongering for the same kind of neurotic losers who insist on buying antibacterial hand soap.
"'Never kiss anyone who has just done laundry for you.'"? Someone needs to knee this guy in the balls.
