    At some point you’ll need to settle on an acceptable level of germs or lose your mind totally

      This is true. The Mythbusters episodes about double dipping tortilla chips in salsa and about leaving your toothbrush in the bathroom convinced me that the entire world is covered in an invisible layer of poo and there’s nothing I can do about it, so I’ve got to just try to accept it.

        this is kinda funny because I was in microbiology and you rarely saw anyone there who was middle ground with germs. The knowledge either made them super casual about it or super rigid. I worked in labs where the professor kept his zip locked sandwich from home in the fridge that had the salmonella samples. I would have my dews in there but I did wipe them down with 95% ethanol before drinking.
