Police are advising shoppers to take a simple extra step that could save your life.

The next time you’re hauling a cart around the store, be sure to wipe down the handles first.

Not true - it's been debunked. Check Snopes.

I never hold on to the handle anyway. I just grab the sides of the cart and push it that way.

If this were the case then you would have to wipe down every door knob you touched, pretty much anything in public that anyone else had ever touched. Fortunately, it's been debunked, as said above. If something sounds scary, it's a good idea to check it out before passing it on. 99 times out of 100 it's a hoax that someone made up to see how many people they could get to bite and pass it on without checking.
