If it makes me less of a man because I don't want to shake someones hand after they have basically fondled themselves then so be it. I just find it rude and it does spread illness.

Jimmy is right.
This is just another thing that we learned in kindergarten that we need to start questioning. Most teachers are liberals and they are indoctrinating our children with their PC b.s.
Good hygiene has merit - what a crock. Next they are going to tell us the polar caps are melting.

my point is that the bathroom does not have any more risk of disease than any other part of your environment. Like or not you come in contact with all kinds of germs every day and beleive it or not 99% of the times you walk away ok. While it may be gross that people dont wash there hands after going to the bathroom, there is little implication to your health.
people pee in public pools, kids puke on school buses, people snort coke on dollar bills, people pick their nose, etc...... you'll live.

Unless any kind of contact with food takes place. Much of my work is at events like conferences and company meetings - 90% of meals are buffet style. Breaks tend to have platters of food and many do not use the provided tongs when taking appetizers.

The CDC recommends proper hand hygiene as a primary way of avoiding sickness.

You're right that most of us come into contact with millions (maybe billions) of germs everyday but look at the items that have the highest concentration of germs - computer keyboards, cell phones, door handles - all places that get consistently touched by people's hands.

This is the most ridiculous statement in this thread,,,,

First look back at history well over 100 years ago this was proven,,,,, There are some very serious illnesses that spread from fecal matter, when people don't wash their hands, to others just by shaking hands or common contact,,, To start Hepatitis is a pretty serious one,,,,right???

In the United states you may get away with it the majority of the time,,,,,, but when you introduce places where certain diseases are more common, certain bacteria thrive and little micro organisms live in much larger numbers of the population the whole story changes and percentages of people getting sick increases dramatically,,,,,

Folks,,, those places are not that far away,,, and with the increasing number of people traveling to or from those places neither are the risks of getting sick,,,,

The picture below might help you all understand,,, I can't find the focused one,,, But it is a comprehensive amoebicide....

I think I'll pass on getting a staff infection thank you very much

have you ever had one? all it take is a small cut,scratch or whatever, it ain't fun or comfortable

I'm not sure about your house, but we try to keep fecal matter confined to the bathroom, but if you think it makes no difference there are germs everywhere, I think you need some education on the subject. There are good germs or bacteria too ya know, those are the ones that battle the bad stuff. I don't think fecal bacteria is a good bacteria.

I'll keep washing my hands and bug my kids to do the same

Hand washing is the easiest and best way to prevent disease. From the flu to polio. Most viral disease is spread through the fecal/oral route. In other words you've been handed sh!t and ate it without knowing.
