[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your MIL should wash her hands but so many people on DCUM are hysterical about “germs,” I can’t believe people live this way.

Actually what I can’t believe is that people live with this level of anxiety about contamination and illness but then are comforted by rituals that don’t have a lot of evidence or efficacy. If you’re going to be hysterical, why not at least go take a microbiology class or something? Food safety certification?[/quote]

So this is how things like E.coli, Shigella, and Noro spread. The fecal-oral route. It could be prevented if people would wash their hands after using the bathroom. We all know how MILs like to “help” I’m the kitchen.

My MIL got sick once because she used a dirty towel in my laundry room - it was in a basket under a laundry chute in a mud room - to dry her hands because she didn’t want to dirty up a towel in the powder room. One of my kids had a cold and sure enough she came down with it. Just gross.[/quote]

This seems an unlikely mode of transmission. She probably got the cold from…being around your sick kid.[/quote]
