[at-l] what *IS* the risk of water borne pathology?

[Teresa French Wench]

I made it a rule to avoid any shared food where others were putting their hands into the bag to scoop up their share.  If I was sharing, I'd pour it into the other person's hand.  I think it was in Maine that we were joined at a shelter by some college kids.  One apparently worked at a pizza shop and they brought a gallon size (or 2?) ziploc bag full of pepperoni.  We each took a share (about a sandwich size ziploc) and would've had more, but people started putting their hands in the big bag.  No thanks.  That was it for me!

Oh, and I always had hand sanitizer in my pocket, and used it frequently.

  I read one "study" that showed that the most common vector for giardia was shareing GORP.  The dirty hands in the common feed bag sort of issue.

  Good luck sorting it all out.
