Gas pumps germiest

Posted on October 31, 2011 | Comments Off on Gas pumps germiest

Still recovering this afternoon at the rancho from presumed food poisoning picked up last Friday at a chain restaurant on the River Walk in San Antone. Or, that was the presumption, a tea glass that smelled like sour milk. But now I wonder if it was the Valero gas pump I used earlier that day. Don’t think I put my fingers in my mouth afterward, but who remembers things like that?

    Well, after all it seems to be a virus, difficult to escape in the best of circumstances. But a dirty glass or a gas handle could definitely speed up the process.

    I also saw another, older study, indicting the plastic handles on grocery baskets and carts. The researchers recommended carrying handy wipes when you go food shopping. Might be advisable for the gas pumps as well.
