The Germ Quiz

Swine Flu season is here.

Take this quiz to see how "germ-free" you are:

You use public restrooms. - 3 points

You wash you hands afterwards + 3 points

You open the door with your bare hand - 3 points (That is where the germs are)

You open the door with the paper towel you dried with then toss it. +3 points

Given the choice of a row of stalls you take the farthest from the door. - 3 points (that is the germiest)

You use the stall closest to the door. +3 points (That is the cleanest)

You wash your hands for at least 10 seconds under running water. -3 points

You wash you hands for at least 20 seconds. +3 points (minimum time under running water to kill germs)

You use hot water while washing your hands. -3! Points (Hot water will cause you to wash for a shorter duration, and only boiling water kills germs)

Showering after a workout at the gym you wear flips flops or shower shoes. +3 points

You do not wear shower shoes or flip flops. -3 points (Bad germs there... bad)

You friend brings over his new dog and he gives you a big lick / kiss. -3 points (The myth of the dogs tongue being cleaner than ours is well. A myth!)

You fend off the dogs kiss and settle for a pat on the head. +3 points (Statistically the dogs head has the least germs. It is the part he can't lick!)

Your score means? If you scored in the negative numbers you should head to the closest decontamination shower immediately! If you scored in the positive numbers you are fairly clean and worthy of a hug! Uh but make sure that person scored in the positive numbers first!
