Is Your Handshake As Dangerous As Smoking? « CBS Denver!
This might be true if you are a doctor dealing with a patient with MERS. I remember my vet joked that she would not let my dog kiss her because I had mentioned that he eats his own poop. He did not do that on that day and I try to clean it up before he can get it. But he is really fast.

If people have not be getting sick from shaking hands over all these years, why would they be doing so now? What is the evidence that this is bad for hygiene?
