Remember as a kid, we would “kiss it up to the sky” when our food would fall on the floor? That would clean it enough to eat it. I didn’t die once with this method.

I thought it was a five second rule with food. Thanks for giving me 60 times re leeway.
And I touch door handles without wiping them.

And I take back my credit card from cashiers.

And I walk on the deck at the public pool.

And I pick heavenly raspberries right off the bushes (this is week four!) without washing them.

And…

@Winston: Correctomundo! I don’t eat in tacorias either. In our town, it’s the China buffets that have difficulty staying open. Have you ever run into somebody like Laurie, who won’t let tech support touch the keyboard?

It appears that even you have your limits, at least by omission from your list. You did not include Mexican restaurants, so they must be off the bottom of your scale. Some of those little hole in the wall tacorias are filthy, as are the fine folks who work there and cook and bring your beans to you. They usually don’t last long because the health dept shuts them down. But they move down the street and do it all over again.

The dirty keyboard (and mouse) story is not new. We’ve known it for years. Word is just now getting across the North Atlantic. Being in the support business, I touch dozens of keyboards and mice each week. Got a small bottle of Purell or such in every pocket and service bag and storage nook of my car. And I use it regularly.

The only time I REALLY cleaned my keyboard was when I inadvertently
spilled a large Double Double coffee on it.

I still can’t talk about the time I fried my modem with a glass of white wine. (oops)
