Only one I see as an issue is the soft black plastic escalator handles.

Door handles people use and touch the metal for 2 seconds.
The escalator handles people dig their sweaty palms and fingers into for 20 or 30 seconds.That soft plastic or rubber is a bit warm and soft so the grease and grime and cultures from those squeezing sweaty hands, both stays on top and absorbed easier, and thus lives on in the pores for and indeterminate amount of time.

A door handle may get a spray down by cleaning stdd, but my guess is those escalator bandles, given their material, can't really get cleaned throughly ever, as getting those things wet from cleaning isn't likely a good long term idea for those things to last.

Moreover, there is no reason on an escalator to use your hands on those thing, as the escalator is already doing all the work, no need to balance of brace yourself.

Banknotes have traces of drugs on them including cocaine

The researchers also tested 27 bills from Canada and found that 85 per cent contained traces of the drug, with amounts ranging from 2.4 micrograms to more than 2,530 micrograms of coke per banknote.

Handkerchiefs. I remember one of my old professors used one. Guy would pull it out of his pocket, blow his nose in it, and then stuff it back in his pocket to use again later. Gross.

I carry it around the room tucked under my nuts like an inverse kangaroo pouch.

This thread is one of the best Sliver threads ever. So many legends, and everyone is on their A game. I'm still laughing about the inverse kangaroo pouch! Carry on. 10/10.

You guys are over reacting. It's not like you're Connor McDavid and a strep throat will take you out of commission for 20 games. /s

How long do some of you think bacteria and viruses can survive on dry surfaces? Most bacteria can survive on a dry surface for less than 15 minutes. Viruses, even less.

The sender can lick the entire envelope, dry hump it and then wipe his ass with it. By the time it arrives through the mail, it'll have nothing living on it.

Not sure what porn you're watching but actually the genitals are the victims here. Hands and mouths are far dirtier.
