You do realize that your dishwasher doesn’t clean itself, right? A lot of sediment is sitting at the bottom. This is not a good practice to “sanitize”.

you do realize that most bacteria die upon exposure to boiling water which is what dishwashers use. some dishwashers even have a high heat sanitizing cycle that heats water to 150 degrees C plus. a basic knowledge of science might help you.

There are people on here who do not rinse their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher

Lovely-I'm glad you have the data on those people and the risks they pose to society. Personally, I think most public toilets are far less clean than a vomit bowl run through the dishwasher, but feel free to carry on catastrophizing about this important issue...

Before you start cooking for the holiday potluck, Gladys, take your cat off the counter!

It only happens a couple of times a year for a few days, but I use THC concentrates and sometimes if I overdo it I catch a case of CHS, cannabis hyperemesis syndrome. You can’t eat anything, or even look at food, and it’s a challenge to keep yourself hydrated.

What you do do is dry-heave like a wretch until from one moment to the next you just suddenly feel better, and you cool it on the THC for a while.

I just bought a case supply of sterile kitchen bags which work very well in case something actually does sometimes come up during the heaving.

No washing of dishes involved

I have a special affinity for our family puke bowl. My mom would set me up on the sofa with the bowl there, just in case. Part of the whole sick set up…sprite with the bubbles stirred out, puke bowl, stuffed animals, pillows and a quilt.

I am civilized and vomit in a toilet.

Haven't puked for a long time. I try to make it to toilet, but I use one of the soup bowls for the kid. They are quite big and don't break easily.

I agree. It’s also disgusting to think about.

growing up yes! but we use whatever large bowl or pot on hand for our kids. I think the popcorn bowl cliche was that it was large and plastic/lite.

+1 I don't get this thread. Most bacteria cannot survive boiling water for more than a minute. Just make sure you wash your popcorn bowl or whatever and you are fine.

We had an old yellow bucket that was used bedside when we were sick as kids.

Implemented something similar with my kids, usually some sort of old bucket. Just not as consistent as when I was a kid.

Although it sucked to be sick, it did mean that the old black & white portable TV would get setup in the my bedroom. A rare privilege indeed.

+1 I don't understand how all you people stay in hotels. It's not like they disinfect the mattress and carpets every time someone stays.
