Default ewwww wash your hands once in awhile.

According to Doctor germ.

71% of gas pump handles, 68% of corner mailbox handles are "highly contaminated". with the kinds of germs most associated with a high risk of illness.41% of ATM buttons and 43% of escalator rails are similarly teeming with germs.

Can we get mailbox attendants too?
