Read it and weep.

A quote from the Time article:

[quote]In a 2017 study published in the journal PLOS ONE, researchers swabbed $1 bills from a bank in New York City to see what was living on paper currency. They found hundreds of species of microorganisms. [b]The most abundant were ones that cause acne, as well as plenty of harmless skin bacteria. They also identified vaginal bacteria, microbes from mouths, DNA from pets and viruses[/b]. Cash is also often streaked with drugs. In a study of 10 one-dollar bills from cities across the country,[b] nearly 80% of them had traces of cocaine.[/b][/quote]

Yuck, yuck, yuck.[/quote]
Even though I eat out a lot, I don’t go just anywhere. Obsessive cleanliness is paramount. Quality of food is #2. And then service is #3. You need all three for success. Not to mention a few other requirements, including a little luck!

It boggles the mind how few Americans give a hoot about personal hygiene. And yes, I carry alcohol wipes for when I handle cash or whatever, including any restaurant silverware before I use it. Why not?

As a former kindergarten teacher in an elite school,  I was constantly shocked how few children expected to wash their hands after toileting. Are things just too busy at home to bother? Essential procedures are ingrained habits at home, or they aren’t.

Please practice proper hygiene at home. Laziness is disgusting. If parents are consistent, it shouldn’t be an issue down the road.
