What about mobile phones? People handle them all the time… Texting, surfing the internet, all the things that smartphones are capable of. We place them down on tables, chairs, and shove them deep in our trouser pockets… We don’t give it a seconds thought… Yet the wallet that mine is in, is virtually threadbare. Certainly not cleanable. We handle them all of the time…
So… when we answer a phonecall, it takes both hands to open the case and take the call. Does anyone antibacterial gel their hands before doing so?
We don’t, do we..? And yet, nobody, as far as we know, gets any discomfort or illness from doing so… It is an accepted level of risk, actually making us stronger… That is Bontamination.
Touchscreens on tablets and computers… I have seen some so grubby, it is a wonder they work at all… Especially childrens ones…
Good, Isn’t it?
