golfer17 - 2010-03-28 12:26 AM Ummm... you guys do know you can just spit in your hand, right... much more sanitary... Yeah...until you take that spitty hand and go touching doorhandles and waterfountain buttons!
When I was in college studying microbiology (that only lasted one semester btw ), we had to "find cultures" on everyday objects. We sampled the toilet seat, door handles, tabletops, card doors, trees, everything we could think of. The "dirtiest" we ever found was on the "lip" of the splash guard of a water fountain as well as the button...those things were infected with Strep and eColi to name a few. You know most people inadvertantly (or unconciously ) rest their cheek on the splash guard of the water fountain...
Oh, BTW, I lick my chest strap all the time...well, most of the time, unless I forget...
