Seriously, though, I am superskeptical of the shit molecule threat. I want to know the likelihood of bacterial infection through these remarkable "super" shit molecules which are jumping up through the air and landing on my toothbrush and able to withstand the burst of pressure of tap water.

In recent times we have been bombarded with "information" about bacteria because it sounds really scary and makes the evening news. But studies have shown that the place in your home and office most infested with bacteria - more than on your toilet seat - is your COMPUTER KEYBOARD.


(expecting posting to go way down suddenly)


Bacteria are everywhere. They don't make you sick. Your body has an immune system that fights off these things. In fact maybe you are more healthy if your immune system gets regular practice.

Ironically, worrying about bacteria is less healthy than bacteria -- because worry causes hypertension and hypertension is in the top five of killers.
