Good to know, so it's a good thing I almost never use public restroom soap.




I believe I read that in a recent book, "Missing Microbes" by Martin J. Blaser M.D.

Obviously, if your hands are soiled for whatever reason or you are going to be handling/preparing food, it's a good idea to use soap and water. Otherwise, most of the time there's no need for soap.

Thanks for your comments. I completely disagree with your last comment, but understand your opinion on the first.
