The Germiest Places on Earth

September 10th, 2006 · 1 Comment

Just a quick FYI, according to a study from University of Arizona researchers, classrooms have the highest bacteria count - 20 times more bacteria than lawyer’s offices and 7 times more bacteria than the doctor’s office. Why in God’s green earth they chose to test lawyers offices I do not know, but that is what they did. I would be much more interested, say, in the results compared to a public bathroom, and even some private bathrooms, but what do I know?

What do you take home from this? The importance of regular (yep, I am going to say it again) handwashing, regular bathing, and for goodness sake, if your child is sick, keep him away from school. No one wants your darling child’s non-darling germs. ;)
