A rather good challenge comes to mind… What about going to a cafe, and having a cake with whatever your favourite drink is… Allow your fingers to become sticky… Just as babies do without thinking… What about a salad… Go on… Deliberately make your fingers sticky. But then, without using a tissue, lick each of your fingers clean, Just as you would when eating chocolate finger. Once you have then moist, wipe them dry on your clothing… They are clean now, after all, so they won’t mark your clothing… You can finish off the process by drying them totally on a tissue.
Then just carry on with your day. There is no need to wash your hands… The germs, if any, on your fingers are basically the same as what is already on other peoples fingers, so we cannot possibly make anyone seriously ill.
We are all, reasonably clean.
Yes, wash your hands sometimes, but not all of the time…
Washing our hands all of the time, is taking away what actually should be there, boosting our natural defences. So we would actually doing more harm than good.
Is fruit ever perfectly clean? Has it ever been? If we were to wash it in bleach, it would ruin the flavour.
Let’s all try this for a week say, and see how it goes. Just think of all the cafe’s that don’t give us knives and forks…
That is our supporting evidence. Let’s get everyone and everything ‘Bontaminated’.
