Don't lick your fingers. Unless you just washed your hands. This is how you get sick.

Touch your fingers on a damp/wet vegetables instead.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nah. Just pick your nose and use the snot.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I'd opt for ass sweat

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Who tf is downvoting this, GUYS OMG PLEASE DONT LICK YOUR FUCKING FINGERS

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't put your grubby fingers on vegetables you're not purchasing either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Why would I do that anyway

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

But what if there's taki dust on them?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That's how you build natural immunity.

You think you're not exposed to germs constantly? If the germs are on your hands they are also already on your face.

You'd think germ theory hasn't been discovered since fucking 1762.

You think you’re not exposed to germs constantly?

Yes, which is why you don't need to go out of your way to get exposed to more.

You're worried about a water balloon while standing under a waterfall.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Good metaphor, since the water balloon is separate from the waterfall and could be filled with anything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mean, by definition a water balloon is filled with water.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And water can be contaminated with just about anything.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The 'water' is the 'contamination'.

That’s how you build natural immunity.

Not everything you're infected with gives you benefits, there are a vast many transmissible infectious agents that can literally kill you. While the chances of licking your finger in a grocery store and getting something that bad are pretty slim, it does happen, and your "natural immunity" is working all the time anyway, you don't need to DO anything to help it along, stop thinking you know better than either medical science OR your own body. If you're annoyed with how other people handle their hygiene, how about be an adult and keep quiet.
