Georgia Leads the Way

Study Finds That Many Don’t Wash After Using Public Restrooms - NYTimes.com: "The next time a man hands you a hot dog after making a run to the restroom and the concession stand at an Atlanta Braves baseball game, be careful: there is a good chance he did not wash his hands, according to a report released Monday by a group that sends spies into public restrooms in the name of science.

Only about two-thirds of the men observed washed their hands after using the restroom at Turner Field — the lowest rate for any of the locations cited in the observational study and survey on the hand-washing habits of Americans."

I don't know whether to be proud of the Peach State or just plain nauseated.

That's disgusting, but is it any worse than what's in the hot dogs?
