Germs!!!
I wanted to share this with everyone...Last night in my Microbiology class we got to see the results of our samples we took on Tuesday. We went around the campus collecting samples from different sources and then took those samples and put them on plates with different bases to see what would grow. Well, I now know why there are germ freaks out there because bacteria is everywhere! Me and my lab partner collected samples from the water fountain, the toilet seat, her cell phone and the handle coming out of the bathroom. And guess what we found a type of Fungi on the water fountain, Bacillus was growing on the toilet seat and Staph Aureus was on the handle coming out of the bathroom, nothing had grown from her cellphone. Can you believe that??? I mean, I know that these bacteria are everywhere but it was just so gross to see them up close and personal. Another classmate had taken a sample from the vending machine and a mold had grown so rapidly in the plate that it was pushing the lid up! I wanted to take my camera but forgot it. Next time we do a lab like this I will remember my camera. My teacher said we will be going to Walmart and other public places soon to get samples so I will get some pics then.I think this class is going to make me a germaphobe!

I work at a DR office and I hate even touching the door handles.. It is soooo gross! Have you heard about the dirty purse thing?? If not let me know and I will tell ya!
Gross!! I am not a germ freak, but I might be after reading this! That is so gross, especially the vending machine!
So nasty!! I have turned into a germ freak since Jayden was so sick. I am constantly putting hand sanitizer on. Even at church after shaking hands with someone! Can't wait to hear about your Wal-Mart experiment. Wal-Mart is one of the grossest places ever!! I refuse to use their potty. I will hold it!
Ok, I have been around for 46 years, I am not worried about germs, now those people who use the sanitizer, well you need to build up a resitant to germs, and your not, so who's to say you'll live as long as me?? Just "food" for thought.
Well, I've been around for almost 49 years, and I am one big pesty fungi, and I'm still around !!!
hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha
remember that oprah episode when that Dr. was trying to cure people of their over the top fear of germs and he licked a toilet seat and wanted them to do the same, and had them go through a dumpster and lick their hands. just a thought that came to me from reading your post, no real point to my story.
but i must say i hope your NOT SCARED of my BOY COOTIES!
