I Don't know who is staking out bath rooms to observe if we are washing our hands or not but the latest survey Finds That One-Third of Men Don't Bother to Wash Their Hands After Using the Bathroom .
According to the latest stakeout by the "hand washing police." One-third of men didn't bother to wash after using the bathroom, compared with 12 percent of women, said the researchers who spy on people in public restrooms. They reported their latest findings Monday at a meeting of infectious disease scientists.
"Guys need to step up to the sink," said the spokesman for the Soap and Detergent Association, which co-sponsors the survey and related education campaigns.
The latest study was based on observations last month of more than 6,000 people in four big cities.
Frequent hand washing is the single best thing people can do to avoid getting sick, from colds and the flu to germs lurking in food, doctors say.
The dirty details:
_Atlanta's Turner Field baseball stadium again was the worst. Only 57 percent of guys there washed up, compared to 95 percent of women.
_New York was Second City to Chicago in cleanliness. In restrooms at the Windy City's Shedd Aquarium and Museum of Science and Industry, 81 percent of men and women combined washed their hands, compared to 79 percent at the Big Apple's Penn and Grand Central train stations.
_At San Francisco's Ferry Terminal Farmers Market, 62.5 percent of men lathered up. Women did better, with 84 percent.
I don't know how accurate this study is but come on guys,
WASH YOUR HANDS.

It's so gross!This is why, when leaving a restaurant, they now give wrapped mints. Years ago, they didn't...just a candy dish. GAG!Daily -

Daily, wrapped candy is a excellent idea when you think of the reason why. -

I saw the same study it was from one town if I remember right...pretty awful huh? I imagine it is about the same percent most anywhere. I now think a bit before offering a hand as a general hello handshake... -

Star: I think they started it for the reasons mentioned.Urine in the bowl...uggg...gross!Quiet...I do the "Howie Mandel" and knock fists. I can't shake someones hand if I don't have my Purelle instant hand sanitizer. If I have to do it, I do, but I'm a wreck until I can clean my hands.daily -

Quietone, I am going to think a lot more about it before shaking hands.
Daily the hand sanitizer is one of the best things to keep with you according to the study, I have got to get some.

While I too have to wonder who the hell would be patrolling restrooms to conduct such a study, I can't say that I'm surprised. Come on ... how many times have the women out there had issues with men who leave the toilet seat up? Maybe they don't always remember to flush? Maybe if they are bachelors it's obvious that they don't clean their toilets more than once a month (if that) ... No offense to men out there who are cleanly (maybe even moreso than I), but no, I'm not surprised! -

Simplyklo, I am not surprised either, I never thought people were actually standing around watching to see who wash their hands.
