- ohnoerino, on 11/03/2008, -2/+42I never understand why people think it's OK to put their mouths on water fountain spigots? Ew!
- Zarokima, on 11/04/2008, -1/+36Buried for making me click 14 times for as many tiny paragraphs.
- joeyhndc, on 11/04/2008, -0/+25"Studies have shown that children touch their faces 70-80 times a minute"
There is something wrong about that statistic. - cl2yp71c, on 11/04/2008, -0/+24Talk about p-p-p-paranoid!
- dwalker, on 11/04/2008, -0/+22Buried for scaremongering.
- cosmotic, on 11/04/2008, -0/+18These are crazy. If everyone followed the advice of nuts like these, everyone would be walking around rubbing their hands with sanitizer constantly. We would produce super bugs and no one would have immunity against anything. Kids are getting more and more sick because of this *****.
- ShingoEX, on 11/04/2008, -0/+18I remember George Carlin talking about the "Pussification of America", and this is a prime example of the weakness we're breeding into our culture. Geez, talk about breeding the weak...
The more you train your immune system, the stronger it gets. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this ***** out.

- dunezone, on 11/04/2008, -0/+15Oh everyone stop being pussies. I say bring on the bacteria and viruses.
- doiveo, on 11/03/2008, -0/+15seriously? wow dude - take the parental controls off.
- inactive, on 11/04/2008, -0/+12I'm a good sportsman in the public showers without wearing flip flops whilst grabbing onto handrails.
I live my life on the edge. - acmaurer, on 11/03/2008, -2/+13Good information - with a classic tip - always wash your hands before touching your face
- abajaj2280, on 11/04/2008, -0/+10that actually made me laugh out loud
- vpshockwave, on 11/04/2008, -0/+9"Don't put your hands in your mouth or rub your nose or eyes without washing hands. Impractical with kids; video studies show they touch their faces 70 to 80 times a minute"
Kids these days.. touching their faces... what? - lolwutpear, on 11/04/2008, -0/+9Yeah, but the whole page didn't reload each time, and you could keep your mouse in the same place for each click. Rather painless, compared some of the slideshows out there.
- DentThat, on 11/04/2008, -0/+9QUOTE FROM ARTICLE:
"video studies show they touch their faces 70 to 80 times a minute"
I don't believe that. Kid's don't touch their face faster than once a second for a period of one minute, non stop - lithera, on 11/04/2008, -0/+9I usualy cook them thoroughly before I eat them..
- drgkstep, on 11/04/2008, -0/+9more than once a second!
- MScrip, on 11/04/2008, -1/+9I was in line behind a group of nurses at a fast food restaurant, where they passed around a bottle of hand sanitizer and sung its praises for about 5 minutes. I was so sick of hearing them go on and on about hand sanitizer as they smeared their hands with the magical gel.
Then, they each reached into their wallets and pulled out filthy dollar bills. I laughed. - Reaktor5, on 11/04/2008, -0/+8"Let me tell you something, my well-scrubbed friends. You don't always need to shower every day. It's overkill. All you really need to do is wash the four key areas: armpits, *****, crotch and mouth. That's all. And you can save yourself a lot of time by simply using the same brush on all four areas."
George Carlin - Equinox2012, on 11/04/2008, -0/+7Sitting on doorknobs can give you syphilis... at least that's what I heard.
- bashnu, on 11/03/2008, -2/+9Clicking "Digg it" on a front page article.
High Risk
(of sheep flocks) - metalgel, on 11/04/2008, -2/+9so basically stay away from kids? pedobear must be sick as hell.
- abajaj2280, on 11/04/2008, -0/+7or touching yourself.
- frshjivexl, on 11/04/2008, -0/+7That's not gross. Being gross is like the Monroe Transfer, where two people stick tubes up each others butts and then poop through the tubes into each others asses. Now, that's gross!
- Brododium, on 11/04/2008, -0/+7Some people need to read up on the Hygeine Hypothesis, it's important for the immune system to be able to identify harmful/non-harmful antigens/pathogens, over-protection could potentially lead to a 'gap' in the immune system's knowledge and a later over-reaction.
- inactive, on 11/04/2008, -0/+7How risky is it to eat a toddler?
- CoreyTamas, on 11/04/2008, -0/+6I think by the time you're sitting on the doorknob you probably have a whole long list of problems.
- inactive, on 11/04/2008, -1/+7That was dumb, most were minimal risk.
- 12916studios, on 11/04/2008, -0/+6Wonder how the hell they ***** up that one, unless we're somehow talking about a genetically altered 'the Flash'-esque baby. If that's the case then there should be an article on Digg about it soon.
- tkcom, on 11/04/2008, -0/+6Huh? No 2girls1cupping?
- Wilddigi, on 11/04/2008, -0/+6What about eating at Taco Bell. They don't use gloves
- roxgod666, on 11/04/2008, -0/+6#13= The Grudge?
- anotherjack, on 11/04/2008, -0/+6What doesn't kill you creates a pocket for another bacteria to infect.
- dwalker, on 11/04/2008, -0/+6We need certain bacteria to survive and help our immune system to build its blockade.
Wash your kids in bleach then you over protective wusses then watch em die a slow death brought on by the use of such chemicals within your house! - Xebozone, on 11/04/2008, -0/+5You missed the point of the article:
"Check out these undeniably gross situations, and find out which will really make you sick" - inactive, on 11/04/2008, -0/+5"video studies show kids touch their faces 70 to 80 times a minute"
What? They touch their faces over once a second? How is that even possible? - inactive, on 11/04/2008, -0/+5Ewww, slideshow.
- Equinox2012, on 11/04/2008, -0/+5It's OK to touch amputees, just don't put your lips on them.
- Zarokima, on 11/04/2008, -1/+5amputees
- Foamed, on 11/04/2008, -0/+4The verdict is that kids are the main problem. Strange that they did not mention kindergartens or playgrounds. They put toys in their mouths which other kids have had in their own mouth. Eating sand or dirt from a sandbox which a cat has used as a litterbox etc.
- 1smartguy, on 11/04/2008, -0/+4One of my pet peeves has always been school drinking fountains. Is there no school maintenance men that know how to maintain them?
It's so simple really. I love fixing stuff like that. Diggers trust me on this; if you ever need to remove hard water deposits from something, use a hot solution of vinegar and water. Not cold , but hot, it works a lot faster. Just heat a container of water on a stove, add some vinegar to the hot water, put the encrusted object into the solution, and I promise you that even the most heavily encrusted objects will emerge from the hot solution with all of the deposits removed in a few hours, tops.
How do I know for sure? Because I was a restaurateur for over 20 years and I had to maintain steamers. They are at the extreme when it comes to hard water deposits, because all they do is evaporate water all the while they operate. Vinegar, BTW is very very cheap. A 1.5 gallon container of vinegar is only around $3 at Costco. - scemmt, on 11/04/2008, -0/+4Looks like companies such as Lysol are going to make more money due to these pictures. Personal hygiene is important but some of the stuffs here are only true for obsessive people.
- GregLoire, on 11/04/2008, -0/+4Most of them were actually labeled as being minimal risk, against conventional wisdom.
- PoopOnPaul, on 11/04/2008, -0/+4Don't be a bitch. I hardly wash my hands...only when they're actually dirty, not every time I touch something other people have touched. And I never use hand sanitizer. If my hands are really dirty and need cleaning when I don't have access to water, then ***** it, I use spit. That's pretty rare though, only if they're actually covered in dirt or something and I wanna get it off.
And I don't wash my hands every time I piss. Why? Cuz I don't piss on my hands. If I get some dicksweat on my hands, then I'll give em a quick wash. But my dick's not so dirty that I can't ever touch it without immediate sterilization. Maybe if your dick's that dirty, it's not your hands that need washing.
Call me gross, but I bet I get sick less than you.
Strong immune systems FTW! - drgkstep, on 11/04/2008, -0/+4This is bogus journalism cum pseudo-science. Some reporter just called a bunch of doctors and asked about situations, this isn't based on any kind of rigorous scientific study.
Following "risk" evaluations? High risk.
But washing your hands isn't a bad idea. - sn9500, on 11/04/2008, -0/+4Such is life!!!!!!
