You transfer more germs by shaking hands than you do by kissing, because yes, hands are that gross.
Your hands are filled with crevices that bacteria nestle into, and they touch more surfaces than your mouth does, too. Research has found that shaking hands is a much better way to spread germs than kissing is! (Though if you want to avoid other peoples' germs altogether, doing neither is always a good option).
I should know I'm a surgical tech.
So, you're semi awake and rebelling against the government? lol I know it's just a typo and that you meant to type "sedation", but the thought of "sedition" that you don't remember was too funny to pass up! It's a shame that there's no way we can go back and change our errors. Heaven knows I'm made my share and then notice it when it's too late!
