Interesting to see this video link, as I didn't know that shaking hands spread more germs than kissing!!

Did you know about it? - should we wearing gloves to protest ourselves like the Queen?

Some people carrying a Baby Lotion wipers with them all the time and wipe the shopping trolley, stairs handle etc.

Dr/surgeons wash their hands following a special instructions how to do it posters display at the clinic, and of course I always wash my hands after toilet and before food preparing, but since I see here, I think I will wash my hands more often!


Looking at my hands, I can't imagine its carrying full of germs than kissing people, - It sounds impossible.

Shake Hands:

When you meet people or get introduced to people, you always shake hands with each other. Shaking hands is part of the social behaviour and also a part of German business culture. It would be impolite not to do so.
 
I say we all help Tousi out in his old fart days and give him kisses. Maybe he won't get sick as much.

Except I'm not kissing him, lol.
 
I don't do any handshake but hugs I do, even to strangers, cause it just a girly thing I guess....

Actually, it makes sense. Your salva in your month has several purposes and one being to keep germs down to a minimal. One reason is to keep your teeth and gums healther. Otherwise, most people would lose their teeth very quickly especially given our diets these days ;-)

Your hands "on the other hand" (pardon the pun), touch everything and I mean everything. Doorknobs (probably the biggest perpetrators), other people's hands, basically anything you need to use your hands for. There is no way of knowing what you have contacted and washing your hands more often is an excellent way to reduce your germ/other risks.
