Message to all finger lickers. I have a tough time when I'm at a social gathering and I see someone lick their fingers after having chicken or peanut butter or whatever food which innately urges the individual to lick their fingers. Once they complete the licking, they continue to pick up other utensils and touch the lids of jars, shake hands, leaving behind the remnants of their saliva.
The buffet lickers. Think for a moment when you are at that wonderfully premium all you can eat smorgasbord. I've seen it so many times. The buffet finger lickers. They get a little smidgen of mash potatoes on their greasy thumbs..yum yum.. then like a flash of light, their thumb sucking on, as they approach and grab the next food ladle which happens to be your next sampler. . I avoid buffets for this very reason. Let's all follow the golden rule if eating at a buffet: NEVER EAT WITH YOUR FINGERS. I've just saved you from catching one less virus or bug.
These are the same people who cross contaminate the food from one container/jar to the next by licking the same spoon or knife. This creates a beautiful breeding ground for bacteria. If you know someone who is a knife or fingerlingus offender, please do humanity justice and make them aware of their good ole finger lickin indecent behaviour and the harm it may cause.
