[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During a pandemic is an excellent time to do this! " There is evidence... that reusable grocery bags, a common substitute for plastic bags, contain potentially harmful bacteria. We examine emergency room admissions related to these bacteria in the wake of the San Francisco ban. We find that ER visits spiked when the ban went into effect. Relative to other counties, ER admissions increase by at least one fourth, and deaths exhibit a similar increase." https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2196481 [/quote] They are machine washable. I wash mine twice a year and have a separate one for meat. I use the canvas ones that last a long time (I have never replaced them, 8 years on). If you are concerned, at least rinse them in bleachy water and hang them out to dry. Also, regular detergent kills most pathogens. [/quote]
