It doesn't surprise me. Some stores probably never wash the darn things. I always carry hand sanitizer to use after I use the cart. Everything we touch in this day and age is loaded with germs.
Some of you will laugh at me but....I take our toothbrushes, put them in the dishwasher every day, and sterilize them. The kids sometimes don't put their toothbrushes away right, and have them touching in the bathroom. They were passing things like strep and colds that way when they were much younger. The minute I started running them through the dishwasher on the sterilize cycle (along with everything else) the illness in our home went down dramatically. I will ALWAYS clean my shopping cart with a wipe from now on--eeewwww!!!
To late afterwards, wipe the cart down first, I carry wipes in to use on the cart before touching the fecal matter
It doesn't matter if they wash them because the firt person that touches it will begin spreading the germs.
I carry wipes in every vehicle.
I'm with Galileo. Symbiotic relationships between all the microscopic creepy-crawlies who inhabit our bodies and our environments have existed for a long time for a reason. Let the germs sort it out...
Sure glad I had a Mom who thought tossing me and my brothers out in the dirt to play and making us clean out the chicken yard would immunize us against just about anything. We didn't get asthma and were rarely sick.
Occasionally, we would live even more dangerously and eat around the campfire without washing up first.
That said, I'll probably wash my hands after shopping now in lieu of antiseptic wipes.
I'm waiting patiently for some crusading officeholder to introduce the Anti-Fecal Matter Bill in Congress. As we all know, passing laws is the way to solve problems.
Well, OK. Washing your hands might help. But then that would have to be made mandatory, too. And that one might need more than just a plain, garden-variety law. I suspect nothing less than an Amendment to the Constitution would suffice.
No, that won't happen.
They would have to turn off the city water supply.
Why do you think it tastes like chlorine???
Watch your newspaper for your water report. (come to think of it, don't)
