Darthrevan Supercharged October 13, 2012 Share October 13, 2012 It might be safer to give the right amount of money to food sellers, and not get back any change from them. A local study has found two types of bacteria on currency notes and coins obtained from a local canteen. The bacteria found are of the S. aureus and B. cereus species, which are among the most common bacteria types that lead to food poisoning. The canteen cannot be named due to an agreement it has with the researchers. Ten two-dollar notes, five one-dollar coins and five 10-cent coins were acquired from the canteen on a day in July for the Lifebuoy Germ Protection Study. Conducted by an independent microbiology laboratory, it found both the notes and coins had bacteria, though the amount was not measured.

1fast1 Supersonic October 13, 2012 Share October 13, 2012 (edited) we're becoming quite a mysophobic society. Maybe that's why each newer generation gets weaker? In 2012, we can reasonably expect our children to see 80. In 1900, the children likely wouldn't have seen 50. Yes, things were just so much better then.

Xanavi 4th Gear October 13, 2012 Share October 13, 2012 (edited) If we want them to have tip top high end hygiene habits, expect longer waiting time and prepare to pay more. Alternatively, eat at restaurant (although not necessary cleaner). Better still if more people dine at restaurant, then i no need queue so long for my favourite hawkers.

Deathism Neutral Newbie October 13, 2012 Share October 13, 2012 In 2012, we can reasonably expect our children to see 80. In 1900, the children likely wouldn't have seen 50. Yes, things were just so much better then. Perhaps it could be due to advancement and availability of medical care? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Neutral Newbie October 13, 2012 Share October 13, 2012 In 2012, we can reasonably expect our children to see 80. In 1900, the children likely wouldn't have seen 50. Yes, things were just so much better then. Actually, what I've learnt while I was in virology and immunology back then was... Being too clean has other detrimental effects too. For example, you don't see Auto-Immune diseases in countries like Africa, but in developed countries, auto-immune diseases exists. While it may be a trade off that we live longer, it doesn't necessarily mean we live healthier. I'd say the old grandmother saying that " a little of dirt is good for you " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
