[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What clothing borne pathogen are you trying to avoid here?[/quote] 1st response writer: literally almost anything with a fecal-oral transmission route, all of which is routinely found in samples of laundry that is “not that dirty.”[/quote] I hate to exacerbate your debilitating anxiety, but literally *everything* can be "fecal-oral" transmission. Remote control, laptop, home doorknobs (let alone *GASP* public doorknobs!), clothes hangers you touch over and over again, the sink handles, the towel racks, your shoelaces, your makeup brushes, your hairbrushes, your hair styling tools and products, etc. If you washed your hands every time you touched anything that could have micro fecal particles on them, your hands would be raw. I sincerely am so grateful that I'm not a germophobe - it sounds exhausting and horrible for your immune system. [/quote] Actually an enormous number of things on that list don’t have anywhere near as high bacterial and viral counts, when swabbed, as your dirty laundry. And I do wash my hands immediately before I eat, every time. I am glad you are not a germophobe, but it’s kind of a non sequitur here because I’m not either.[/quote]
