Single Women Have Dirtier Purses.

Warning:  This article, pointed out to us by frequent reader and commenter Amy Jo, is not for the germaphobes among you.  

Snopes.com reports it’s no urban myth: among other disgusting bacteria and disease-causing germs, the bottom of your purse is probably covered with E.Coli.  According to the Cleveland news report cited by Snopes, ”[i]f you wouldn’t eat a hotdog after rubbing your hand across the sole of your shoe, you shouldn’t eat one after handling your purse.”    (The question is would you eat a hotdog at all, much less after rubbing your purse?)

Please, show us we’re not alone in the blogosphere and join the discussion - are you a card-carrying, antibacterial-handgel-applying germaphobe or more a fan of the 3 (30?, at least I think it’s from today?) second rule?
