[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, though no one has owned up to being a serial non-handwasher yet, what do you think of the defence that urine is sterile?[/quote]

Urine is sterile INSIDE the body.  It can pick up lots of bacteria upon its exit.  Are these people under the impression that urine remains sterile in perpetuity?[/quote]

OP and hand washer here.  Urine can pick up bacteria upon exit but I doubt it will pick up any bacteria within the 20 seconds you take to pee, therefore, when you wipe, you're still touching "sterile" pee.   Yes/no?[/quote]

No.  There is a reason you get a prep wipe before giving a urine sample at the doctor's office.  To remove the bacteria, etc. that is on your body so it doesn't end up in the sample.[/quote]

I'm a guy.  Never every received a prep wipe before.  [/quote]

We're getting into tmi territory, so I apologize for that, but urine leaving a woman's body has more opportunity to come into contact with bacteria than it does when it exits from a man's body. [/quote]

Pp again.  But on the handwashing topic, I'm assuming men touch their penises while peeing, and therefore have the transfer of bacteria directly to their hands anyway, so I'm not implying that men should be absolved of washing up afterwards.[/quote]
