If I washed my hands after petting my dog, I'd have to carry water and soap every where I went with my dog. I've never caught any illnesses from petting my dog, nor has my dog caught anything from me. People in this country have become overly germ phobic, to a ridiculous level. All it does is create obsessions over something that is impossible to avoid. Hospitals, touching things like money, door nobs, phones, almost anything someone or animal has touched before you. There's nothing wrong with washing your hands, taking a shower or cleaning yourself off after going to the gym. All I'm saying is everything in moderation. Even soap and water can have germs on them, so good luck trying to be obsessive about it.
Do you wash your hands every time you touch/pet your pet ?
