Perhaps it comes down to individual resistance. After crossing the
country
innumerable times since 1962, stopping at the cheapest gas station in any
town and being horrified at what we found in many restrooms, including no
hand-wa****ng facilities, we have NEVER gotten any sort of illness. My
daughter got poison oak once, but that was from a patch of brush in the
forest, not a public restroom. Only recently have I thought about the
dangers
lurking on the bathroom doorhandle, and I worry about those only when I'm
in/near doctors' offices or a hospital.
