Oh for goodness sake. I hate to break it to everyone. We’re all going to die. I refuse to live my life fearful of every little thing. I use the 5 second thing very rare and it’s typically an m&m or pretzel. Nothing cooked or anything like that. Enjoy life!
I have a cousin who owns chicken houses (egg farm). He will come out of the layer between coops where the chain line runs to clean out droppings after repairing a broken chain. He will not wash and promptly eat his onion and sardine sandwich. Of course I had rather eat the chicken shiite than his sammich... just sayin’
Children need to eat more dirt!
Everything you need to know about germs is in 5he book War of the Worlds. :-)
Ha, ha...I’m still alive after following the three second rule for more than sixty years...so they can...hold it a second ...(gasp, cough)...I’ve been (hack, cough, hack)....eating food off the floor for (cough, hack, hack, gag) .....sixty years and (puts hands to throat choking and gasping for breath) ...wait....(falls on floor lifeless).
Your dog has been eating off the floor for his whole life, and he’s still very much alive. Why should it be different for humans?
Years ago I had a friend and they had their 1st kid.
Kid was always sick,couldn’t figure out why.
Did all types of test etc,nothing.
Finally the went to a Dr and he asked Sams wife a bunch of questions and found out she was washing everything,all the time.
Kid dropped a rattle,wash it off,Kid drops a toy on the ground wash it off and so on.
Dr told her to cut that crap out and allow little Sammie to build up immunities to every day dirt.
Guess what?
It worked.
Like you said “eat dirt”
Lots of bacteria are mobile.
Ever hear of an ameba?
Or a flagellum?
Dog licks his butt hole and builds up a whole lot of resistance to a whole bunch of “shit”
I would never eat anything that had fallen on the floor.
Not surprised at all. Both my girls were taught the 5-second rule. Pick it up, kiss it to Jesus, and go on eating. Neither one had any allergy problems. People are way too freaky about germs these days. I don't roll around in dirt like I used to, but it don't scare me none. :-)
The five second rule does not apply to those of us who have a two second dog.
At my house, if you can beat the dog to it, it’s yours.
BEST REPLY EVER.
I never actually thought the 3 second rule was scientific fact. It is generally a humorous excuse for being too lazy to wash a babies pacifier that falls on the floor isn’t it?
Guess some people need an excuse for their existence. What’s next, debunking the myth of a black cat walking under a ladder?
Amoeba, strictly speaking, are not “bacteria”, but a somewhat more sophisticated organism. They are able to move by extending a pseudopod, then flow their internal vital protoplasm into that pseudopod. Similarly, they “eat” their sustenance, usually some form of bacteria, or dead organic material, by encapsuling the prey or “dinner” and absorbing it into their protoplasm.
Flagellum is a structure, not any kind of genus, and it may be found on certain species of bacteria, which have developed a rudimentary means of propulsion by the actions of the whip-like “tail” that seems to be capable of a kind of volitional movement. This structure is also found on other organisms, unrelated to bacteria, sort of an analog of the tail of something like a tadpole.
But you’ll eat lettuce from Mexico?.........................
