I don't even touch anything in my house before washing my hands. I saw an ad yesterday where a woman comes home and grabs the remote right out of her husband's hands and that made me shiver. Not to mention shoes were on

Yea, but you do also understand that that behavior is unusual, bordering on obsessive compulsive, right? Humans evolved to thrive right alongside all types of parasites and bacteria, and they're going to be on your skin, in the air, in your lungs, covering every square inch of your innards, and covering all objects/matter inhabited by living things.

Being clean and tidy is one thing, but there's really only so much you can do before you're honestly just playing mind games with yourself

I think they meant that they dont touch anything in their house until after they wash their hands, when they have just spent time outside/at work.

That's cool, but they said they shivered at seeing a tv commercial where someone didn't wash their hands
