maybe you should just wash your hands with poo bob
they have been able to dipshitQuote:

I hope you've cleaned yourself up with a nice smearing of Bacillus
from nih.gov
ok fine so bacillus from paper towels can grow in a favorable environment. that still has no implications for me as my hands are not made of agarQuote:
CONCLUSION:
This pilot study demonstrated that a large community of culturable bacteria, including toxin producers, can be isolated from unused paper towels
and that bacteria is transferrable to your skin einstein, also particles of pulp from the "dry" paper towel dusts off when used and you even inhale itQuote:

all the same it's still fucking gross so i think i'm gonna stop using paper towels after washing my hands and start carrying clorox wipes to turn off the faucet and exit the bathroom door
*facepalm*
no you are better letting your immune system deal with it
i don't make a habit of huffing paper towels, lisaQuote:

think about babies
they put dirt, bugs and everything into their mouth
and poo doesn't always stay neatly contained in a nappy

you can get a pretty weak immune system from trying to sterilise everything you come into contact with
and fwiw, the spores present are linked to the dirty ass manufacturing equipment, rather than simply being placed in bathrooms
and at the end of the day there are a couple of guaruntees in life
what is it they say?
Ilness, death and taxes.
nopeQuote:

you admitted yourself that germs are everywhere, food, air etc. thats enough to stimulate the immune systemQuote:

i got that from the article you linked to me without obviously reading all the way through.Quote:

as I stated earlier they are present EVERYWHEREQuote:

actually public restrooms make my cesspit of a vag seem sterile by comparissonQuote:

yeah, and the article said that too. why else would paper from post-consumer pulp have up to 1000-fold the bacteria found in paper from virgin wood pulp?
testing doesn't mean much when you continue to expose it to disease vectors after the testingQuote:

those binders and starch and stuff are also used in virgin wood pulp paper but not as much as in recycled paper
you mean like paper towel?Quote:

I knowQuote:

nets are porous, but if something is big enough it can't pass throughQuote:
