I rescued this pit ball that was walking along the shoulder of the Garden State Parkway in Clark, NJ. The side of the dog’s head was bleeding; it looked like it was clobbered with a shovel. I called 911 and had to wait almost 3 hours for the authorities to arrive.

Stop licking fingers & using saliva as a lubricant

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 11:01:59 -0400

“I am astounded by the number of retail workers that lick their fingers to either separate out their money or open bags. In Wal-Mart, my cashier, who definitely needed dental work, decided to lick her fingers in order to distribute the change to the man in front of me. She not only did this once, but then again as she handed him the money as she counted it out. She then wetted her fingers several more times during my transaction to “open” the bags and stuff the merchandise within”.

“Am I the only one who thinks this is repulsive? Germs are spread by picking up a virus on your hands and then touching your face, particularly the eyes, nose, or mouth. Can you fathom the amount of viruses being passed from person to person because of this intolerable habit? Management of all retail establishments should place small, wet sponges next to the registers to avoid finger licking. There’s also a gel that can be used as a “wetting” agent for fingers. I think we’re in desperate need of some common manners and sense. Don’t lick your fingers, ever”!

I could not have said it better myself. Thank you Erika.

“As we head into flu season, I think each of us has to do our part to contribute to a healthier world”.

“Service workers and other money-handlers: Stop using your own saliva as a lubricant. I know it’s yours, and it may taste good, but it’s not sanitary. Take a tip from the people who specialize in money - use a wet sponge”.

“Employers: Enforce this. Stop thinking of your escalating payroll, and do your part to stop the spread of disease. Your customers are worth it”.

“Consumers: Wash those hands! Invest in some antibacterial lotion, or wear disposable gloves. Don’t touch your orifices until you’ve sung the first verse of ‘Happy Birthday’ while soaping up those fingers”.

“And if you happen to see people licking their fingertips, don’t hesitate to tell them why it’s a bad idea. They may get upset, but at least you’ll be doing your part to stop the chain of germs”.

I like the way you think Patrecka.
