Break the beef into smaller pieces first so the germs can’t find it.

He’s either developing the next epidemic, or he’s training his immune system to have street fights. He’ll either be the savior or destroyer of the human race.

Clean your Homes Germiest Places, where and how

But for real now, is desinfecting your home with bleach that often really healthy (or good for the environment)?

I mean, you should probably not raw dog thaw that meat like a psychopath and obviously cleaning the kitchen, bathroom etc is important, but come on.

They mention the toothbrush holder - this thing is gross, ok? I mean it is disgusting and I also try to wash and keep it as dry and clean as I can. But it’s not because of germs, since I put the butt of my toothbrush there, not its freaking head that goes in my mouth, and I don’t start my day by licking the bottom of that glass either.

It’s just funny to me to read this article when everyone around is saying how important germs are for our health and allergy protection and how we are supposed to let kids eat dirt basically but then they tell us to bleach the crap out of the sink drain because germs. Then you go read about the hygiene hypothesis in the author’s next article.

Also come on, who has time to take off the stove knobs every week and clean them thoroughly? Does the first bullet point suggest I replace a rag with a rag? Or did I misunderstand something?

Also my stove knobs are worse than doorknobs? Doubt.

I’m just guessing here but I would think that cooking would kill off anything picked up from the thawing process.

It’s nasty, but not necessarily unsafe.

And now you’re washing your dishes in a sink coated with whatever came out of the meat

I mean that’s just as true as if you let the meat defrost in a plate and then put that plate in the sink.

Not necessarily toxins (as in ones produced by bacterial/fungal processes) or toxic/bad-tasting chemicals left over from cleaning dishes.

Assuming dishes have been cleaned and not just rinsed/wiped

If they’re cleaned in a sink that just had raw meat floating around, they’re not clean regardless.
