E. coli found on 50 percent of 36 tested shopping carts - Polidicks

I have an immune system, I'll be fine. I'm not just going to suddenly drop dead because of some bac

Isnt E. coli the one that kills you? Or am I mistaking it for something else?

when no one is looking i poop in my hand and then use my penis to smear it all over the carts

I know I won't be eating off the shopping cart anymore. or putting my fruits and vegetables in the cart instead of the bags. What a disgusting thing!

It should be kind of obvious since the same counts for door handles, coins and so on.

I've had rotavirus before. I think my body has built up a tolerance to bacteria like this. So am I worried? Nope, not really.

What a disgusting thing![/QUOTE] Yeah, but seeing how you wash your fruits and vegetables before you eat or cook them, would it really matter if they didn't have a bag over them?

Extreme cleanliness eventually leads to a weak immune system.

...and that is why I wash my hands right after I come from the streets, and carry my pocket hand sanitizer wherever I go. [tab]I use it in small amounts.[/tab]

That's not rust on those carts :ohdear:.

Next time you have to go to WalMart, watch the toddlers sitting in the buggies. I guarantee they'll start chewing on the cart within moments. Filthy disease carrying poop machines.

[QUOTE=GunFox;28365264]No the best way to protect your kids is to do NOTHING. Covering everything with fucking disinfectant just makes your immune system weaker. E.coli is in the dirt. Hell the dirt itself is comprised of large amounts of fecal matter. We've spent the past several million years defending against it without issue. Soap + water = clean enough. We can resist bacteria just fine on our own. Bullshit like this is just going to produce more helicopter moms. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] They do. It uses high levels of UV radiation to kill everything on the cart.[/QUOTE] This is true. As a kid I was sick all the time because my parents always had me around other kids. When I was sick they let my imune system deal with it, not antibiotics and the such. I haven't been sick in 2 and a half years and the last time I was sick was from the H1N1 virus.

[QUOTE=Keyblockor;28365341]I agree entirely with you there, The only way to get your immune system tough is to actually live your life as your ancestors did, not caring for anything only when you get infected with something very nasty.[/QUOTE] I agree with GunFox, but I don't agree with you. Living like your ancestors is a good way to shorten your life expectancy significantly. Not caring for anything is even more stupid. I'm not like OH GOD BACTERIA, but I wash my hands whenever I get back from university, [I]especially[/I] when I've used a computer, and I avoid sick people at all costs. I'm also careful about eating or putting my hands near my face when I'm out at uni. There's such a huge amount of people that you'll make indirect contact with by things commonly touched that it's wise IMO to be careful about it, unless you want to get sick.

I got laid in a shopping cart before, probably thousands have my AIDS right now.

E. Coli is not uncommon it exists literally everywhere so this is no surprise to me.

People should stop taking dumps in shopping carts

[QUOTE=Kab2tract;28366841]That is very important, but this may be causing an epidemic of allergies. I watched a documentary that showed that there has been a huuge increase in people with allergies due to more reliance on soaps. Or at least, that is what the theory is.[/QUOTE] I believe the connection there is actually with antibacterial soap. When I say "soap" I mean plain soap. Plain soap still strips your skin of some protective oils, but nothing that is going to really hurt you at all. The benefits of removing foreign matter outweigh the possible drawbacks significantly.

bacteria's good for you man up

:tinfoil:

[QUOTE=rsa1988;28365750]Wow nice, I work with carts all day and I haven't gotten sick throught the 1 and a half years of pushing them up to the cart area of my Walmart. Hmmm I wonder what is the disconnect is here, right I have a good immune system, or as others said only certain strains of E. Coli are bad.[/QUOTE] Or maybe you just wash your hands well like a perfectly sensible human being.

I would just get groceries from a local grocer where they have those handheld baskets. Probably a lot cleaner than a cart that had dozens of baby asses sitting in it.

I was infected with the really bad strand of e coli once. It fucking sucked. Almost dying really sucks

Disgusting!
