Nix said:No, you're just the reason why the common cold hasn't died off.
StixxUK said:But it only gets to live long enough to finish each mutation whilst on the hands of some dirty so and so who doesn't wash. Probably.
Stiff_Cookie said:The common cold hasnt died off because it keeps changing its design and therefore our bodies have to constantly develope new anti-bodies for it

Lol, the studies I've seen are in microbiology journals and I only have them in paper form I'm afraid. But I do recall reading one such study which revealed that immigrants have introduced a new strain of bacteria that could wipe out the entire native population of the UK...dirtydog said:Studies sponsored by soap manufacturers?I know this isn't SC (or we'd be arguing about immigrants
) but I would be interested to see a source for those studies

Neon said:the fact is that if you touch your wang its much more unclean than anywear else on your body like your face etc. this part of your body collects sweat etc, much worse. and has folds of skin....etc etc. its also were you pass fluids etc.
Forget your face, take a swab off the toilet door handle (inside door handle) and then compare it to a culture from your mobile phone, quite shocking results!SidewinderINC said:infact, i might see if i can nip into the microbiology lab on the floor below my labs and do a swab test onto an agar plate of a length down my wang-shaft and a length down my face and see what grows more.
Tell us what you mean then, we're not psychic.Nix said:Woosh.
It doesn't seem to tally with my own experience and what I have heard anecdotally, both in this thread and elsewhere though.i know nothing said:Lol, the studies I've seen are in microbiology journals and I only have them in paper form I'm afraid.

I don't give a toss how hygenic you are in your own home but if you're using public facilities, washing your hands should be mandatory and it's at least the only polite thing to do. It's called being civilised!![]()
I can't find the actual articles but there a quite a number of reports that make reference to similar studies like this one and this one. I was looking for the study that they did in Northern England but I can't find it.dirtydog said:It doesn't seem to tally with my own experience and what I have heard anecdotally, both in this thread and elsewhere though.
