Germophobes

[ADF]

On the show last night, Fezzie harangued me about giving his chicken finger dipping sauces the germy voodoo. I didn't actually touch the sauces, just kinda hovered there and wiggled the digits. I think people are way too uptight about germs.. I don't even use antibacterial soap. Still, if I drop my toothbrush on the floor, that sucker is going in the garbage. I guess we all have our germ limits.

I think people are way too uptight about germs..


Guilty as charged.

I hate when people touch my food. I can't stand people who don't cover their mouths when they cough, sneeze or yawn. I use paper towels to open the door after using public bathrooms.

i wouldnt call myself a germophobe by any means, i think i fear germs in moderation. while i do use antibacterial soap, and don't like to eat things after they've fallen on the table, i wouldnt freak out about someone putting their fingers over my dipping sauces.

during this discussion last night, fez inspected my fingers, and determined that he would allow me to stick my fingers in his dipping sauces... so i think that makes me pretty damn special.

of course, ronnie said he'd eat off my ass, but i think that's another thing entirely...

There's a woman at work who's a germophobe. She's a nutcase to begin with, but she also walks around opening doors with paper towels, and her chair is wrapped in plastic. Everytime I walk by her cubicle or have to talk to her, I start coughing and sniffling. It's fun to watch her freak out

[TheMojoPin]

While I refuse to use the public restroom at work unless in EXTREME emergencies, I'm pretty laid back when it comes to germs. I'm definitely in the George Carlin, "I WANT germs to toughen up my body" school of thought. When using the bathroom, unless there's shit or piss ON my hands, odds are I won't wash them. I only wash every so often before I eat. If I dropped a toothbrush on the floor of the bathroom (Which I clean each week or so), I'd just run it under scalding water for a minute or two and use it again. No biggie.

Pig!!

With that out of the way, I'm in the healthcare business now. I deal with critically ill patients all day long. I follow Universal Precautions meticulously. But on the other hand, I don't go around obsessing on all the germs around me-if I did, I wouldn't be doing what I do for a living!!

It's hopeless. People who think they can get germ-free may not realize you have Good germs too and if you didn;t have em you'd be dead as dillinger real quick.

Sadly, anti-biotics and anti-bacterial soaps can't tell the difference and kill them all. The over-prescription of Antiboitics has caused bacterial strains to evolve that are increasingly resistant to the anti-biotics, to the point that theyre useless. This is serious stuff.

Seems kids and people have all these multiple-chemical-allergies. I'm wondering about a link between this Antibiotic overkill with that...

Oh, and as for your toothbrush; you actually got the floor dirty when you dropped it. By far, easily, no contest; the dirtiest orifice in the human body is the mouth. Bites can become deadly serious, literally, in terms of infection.

Why so dirty? Well there's those Good germs in there helping you digest food and other essentials biological functions. And bad ones. And the germs of all the others you're breathing in all the time. And benign ones, and then there are the 1000s of mites living in your sheets, and the creatures that live on your eyelashes, and the other creatures that burrow into your skin....

All of us. No exceptions. Even if you lived in those NASA-type clean rooms where they suit-up the astronauts, your body is Covered with micro-organisms.

In fact; if the human body were to disappear, but the epidermal/dermal/follicular micro-organisms remained, you'd see a perfect shell of the person's body, made up of all the creatures listed above, and many many more.

French Kiss, anyone?

There's a person I know that's a big time germophobe. He won't eat food from a public place. But when he's forced to it's the funniest thing I've ever seen. If he's eating french fries he'll make a pile of little ends that touched his fingers, doesn't eat them.

Opens doors with paper towels on the knobs. Eats everything with the wrapper still on it, what a physco.

"I WANT germs to toughen up my body"


That reminds me of a study I saw a couple of months ago. It said that asthma rates in children are rising because kids are getting sick less. They are not being exposed to as many childhood illnesses as in the past and therefore their lungs are more sensitive, leading to asthma. Has little to do with this thread, but I found it interesting.

I knew someone just like that. Yeah, they were total psychos. Also Jack Nicholson's character was just like that in As Good As It Gets

I hope you don't leave your toothbrush in the same room as your toilet, because you would be brushing your teeth with not only your shit, but anybody's shit that had been deposited in your toilet.

One of my students throws tantrums when he is sat near the "dirty kid" in our class and the "dirty kid" makes any kind of contact with him. We were playing Pass the Bean Bag, and when the "dirty kid" passed it to "germaphobe" he held it between the tips of two of his fingers and threw it at the next person disgustedly. He has obsessions about showering and washing his hands. He takes four showers a day. When he gets home from school, he changes his clothes six times in a row! Of course some of this has to do with autism, the rest are some OCD behaviors.

[FUNKMAN]

i have this theory that you have to take in some germs so your body can build a resistance and continue to build the antibodies...

it's like people who bundle up in winter with a hat, coat scarf, and gloves. they are mostly going from their house to a car, then the car to work, they are only out in the elements for a short time. So what happens, they sit in the car sweating their ying-yangs off because they have all this clothing on(which you would normally never wear indoors) and now they jump out in the cold, "no good"

only wear that stuff if you plan to be out in the elemenets for long periods of time, otherwise just tough it out for the few minutes it takes a car to warm up, wear something light and bring the heavy stuff along just in case you get stranded...

[The Chairman]

I had to read through the entire thread b/c I assumed someone would have mentioned Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

I never use the word "normal", but some sort of aversion to germs is healthy. But when people obsess about them to the point of washing their hands 20-50 times a day, taking 10 showers using antibacterial soap a day, walking around with a bottle of antibacterial hand gel, refusing to shake hands with people or wearing gloves, then we're talking an unhealthy aversion to germs to the point of OCD (Jack Nicholson, for example, in As Good As It Gets, had OCD).

An entire industry has emerged in the last 10 years or so catering to people with germ phobias. Everything tends to be antibacterial something or other.

Here's the scary part: Triclosan, the active ingredient used in most of these antibacterial products, has be found to actually do more harm than good, in that it creates supergerms, much like Mike The Teacher references i.e. antibiotics.

There are myriad articles on the web that reference a landmark study conducted at my alma mater which discusses the issue of overuse of antibacterials and germ aversion.

Just put the words "Tufts University Medical School" and "Germs" in Google and read away.
