purse germs
Did you know that one of the dirtiest objects you interact with on a regular basis is your purse? OK, all the guys are saying, "uh, not MY purse". Whatever. I watched a segment of the news that tested the bottom’s of women’s purses and I have since blanked out all of the pertinent details other than my initial reaction: "EW!". Apparently, we sit our purses on the floor of public restrooms when we’re doing our business and the purse collects the germs that are sprayed about when people flush. Then we leave the restroom and sit our purses everywhere, including restaurant tables, and spread the feces around! If I ever felt like scrubbing my skin raw with a loofah sponge, now would be that time.
