Consider the Secret Life of the Dollar...

 
 

 

 

Getting Dirtier Than You Think


Some academic studies show that the typical American bill does some hard living. In 1997 the Argonne National Laboratory found that 78% of bills from Miami, Houston, and Chicago carried trace amounts of cocaine. Later tests have found similar results. Cocaine on cash is so commonplace that the courts have ruled that police can no longer use a drug-sniffing dog’s signal to nab a suspect or to confiscate money because it’s deemed money drug-related.
 
Money also doesn’t have to go through the mob to be considered dirty. Studies conducted over the decades in countries around the globe have found bacteria on most paper money, which is friendlier to bacteria than coins.
 
In 2001 Dr. Peter Ender of Wright Patterson Air Force Base Medical Center showed that 87% of bills he collected from a local high school food stand were contaminated with germs that could make the weak sick and that 7% carried germs that could make anyone sick. Only 6% were clean. Later studies showed 94% of singles carried bacteria.

 
The dirtiness of bills is one reason why Australia is leading the charge to use a plastic currency that is supposed to be inhospitable to both germs and counterfeiters and four times as durable as paper notes. Australia introduced the rubbery-feeling bills in 1988 and now prints them for 22 other countries, including Romania, Malaysia and Mexico.
 
 

Wait! There is more...

 

Bacteria on Purses

A study was performed on women's purses. A health team went to a local mall and took samples from the bottom of 50 women's purses. The purses were swabbed with cotton swabs along the entire bottom of the purses and placed into special containers. The swabs were then processed at a local laboratory.
 
The Health Report also showed where women place their purses: public restrooms (on the floor beside the toilet), kitchen counters and kitchen tables, on tables and chairs in restaurants, etc. The results of the laboratory tests contained the following most serious result: 1 out of 4 purses E COLI
 
Other extremely serious bacteria also were listed, including Hepatitis.
 
They recommended that women should DAILY wipe their purses (particularly the bottom) with a disinfectant wipe and to be extremely careful where they sit their purse. Most important, do NOT place a purse on a table (anywhere) where food will be processed or eaten or on a kitchen counter -- and do not put it anywhere close to a toilet.
 
Remember, when you flush a toilet, the spray goes a distance that is unrecognizable by the human eye.
 
WASH YOUR HANDS as often as you can! Keep an antibacterial hand sanitizer cleaner and use it often! And as soon as you get home from shopping (or wherever you have been and used your purse), immediately wipe it all over with a disinfectant wipe.

MEN who do not wash their hands after relieving themselves should be ASHAMED! Not only that, they are seriously affecting other people's health and their own. Over 50% of the time men in public restrooms relieve themselves, zip up, and immediately leave the restroom without washing! Women, get on your men and be sure they are washing thoroughly after using the restroom.

Everyone spends all this time washing their hands and then grabs the door handle to exit the rest-room. DUH! All those other folks who did NOT wash their hands have their germs all over the door handle! Many women who do NOT wash their hands after using the restroom. So, use that paper towel you dried your hands on to open the door and then dispose of it in the closest waste receptacle (women, please do not put it in your purse!).
