I could accept the
actual
transfer rates aren't that high. But the
perceived
rate certainly is. The guy who urinates over the back of his hand and then handles all the cards/chips may just as well come on over and wipe his knob in my burger. The appeal is roughly the same.

In that case, is it possible that poker players have built up immunity to many germs because they're exposed to so much?
I've my own 'wives tale' which goes along the lines of, people are
too clean
these days and contract illnesses far more often because of it. Ever since I started using 'anti' this and 'anti' that around the house, we've spent a fortune visiting the doc for one illness or another. Meanwhile, the neighbours down the road who stick to basic soap and warm water rarely need to visit the doc. Might be time to go back to basics.

The germs don't bother me. My immune system copes with them. It's the thought of the germs that I can't handle..

Ah - my specialist subject - germ transference.
I carry wipes everywhere and use tissues to open the loo doors. Stayed in a hotel yesterday where I'm pretty sure I was dirtier after having a bath than before.
The worry is what we can't see. Everytime you fush your loo at home without closing the lid lots of particles come up in the vapour and land on the bath, walls, surfaces and toothbrushes. I rest my case.

Ah well, I concede. Pee Germs cause colds, it's a well-known fact.....
You probably caught a cold because players sneeze & cough left right & centre without using a handkerchief or turning their heads away, which, to my mind, is the height of ill-manners. And that DOES cause cough & cold transference. Fact.
It's the youngsters wots to blame, of course. And to save Kinboshi Posting, yes, it's Ageism again.

Keeping toothbrushes in the bathroom is disgusting.

Resting your case on your toothbrush, that can't be good surely?

Good grief, at last some common-sense. All his mamby-pamby wrapping up kids in cotton-wool in case they catch something actually works in the exact opposite manner to that intended.

I do indeed wash after peeing, and I could actually feel the "Plague" washing over me while playing the £50......

Well, I'm out of my depth here, against an expert on the subject, (Female automatically means "expert" of course), but though I can see your point clearly, I can't see the evidence which proves we are more unhealthy because of these arguably dubious practices. I've not spent my life majoring on or worrying about hygiene issues, & I've mixed with all sorts in betting offices & poker venues & filthy Golf Locker Rooms, but I worked for 39 years straight without a single days sick leave.
Did you stay in the Feltham Travelodge (usually sparkingly clean) or the St Giles, which is a Listed, Grade One, Fleapit?
