moist towelettes like you get when you eat lobster or ribs is also a good idea.

(09-15) 11:58 PDT Los Angeles, CA (AP) --

A police official says a dead body has been found in a men's restroom at Los Angeles International Airport.

Robbery homicide Capt. Kevin McClure says the body was found Wednesday morning in a stall. It was not immediately clear if the death was a suicide or a homicide.

Detectives from the LAPD's main homicide unit are on the scene.

A call to an airport spokeswoman was not immediately returned.

Hands may come into contact with millions of germs every day. But have you ever thought about those germs ending up on your soap pump?

Fact: Your soap pump can harbour hundreds of bacteria.

Introducing the DETTOL No-Touch Hand Wash System, it automatically senses your hands and dispenses just the right amount of soap that kills 99.9% of bacteria.

For use in the kitchen or bathroom, the antibacterial hand soap is enriched with moisturising ingredients to care for your hands. Available in three premium fragrances: Hydrating Cucumber Splash, Cleansing Green Tea & Ginger, and Refreshing Grapefruit Essence.

Never touch a germy soap pump again.

Gawd, how did we ever get to our age when we've been handling "germy soap pumps" all our lives.

Pass the shotgun, I'm hunting Dettol promoting people this week...

The world is filled with bacteria, the over use of anti-bacterial agents has done more harm than good.

We've created a race of super bugs that could take over the world!

Despite being OCD about handwashing, etc., I still ended up with something - though it could have been from that one margarita on the rocks I drank in Puerta Vallarta

If it made you sick, it CLEARLY was not strong enough!

I've noticed that too, how the Hell did we survive thus far?

A few things:

Urine as it comes out of the body is sterile unless you are sick (and as a post above pointed out, you will soon know about it if you don't already).

There has never been a disease outbreak associated with bathroom door or faucet handles.

When surfaces in 'normally-clean' houses were checked for bacteria, bathrooms were much cleaner than kitchens overall and the toilet seat was the cleanest surface of all (it is usually dry and kitchen counters are often not. Microbes cannot generally reproduce on a dry surface, most will die off over time.).

Disease transmission is more likely when people with colds/flu transfer microbes by coughing/sneezing into the air or onto their own hands everywhere else in the world.


Microphobia is amazingly common and based on an ignorant and irrational view of 'germs'.

Which is why I have no fear of working of a dirty job: Dirt is Natural!

Bring on the germs. Too much cleanliness may be making some people sick.
