When was the last time you pushed a cart in a grocery store? Well, grab a bucket and read this one.....
From the link below: Professor Charles Gerba, the lead researcher, swabbed the handles of 85 carts in four states for bacterial contamination. Gerba says 72% of the carts had a positive marker for fecal bacteria. When they examined some of the samples, they found Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli, on half of them.
Researchers say they actually found more fecal bacteria on grocery cart handles than you would typically find in a bathroom, mainly because bathrooms are disinfected more often than shopping carts.
Since most stores do not routinely wash and disinfect their carts, it's up to you to do it.

wow - more than a bathroom - one wonders why we all just don't fold over and disintegrate after living an average day....
Antibodies.
Speaking personally, I could very well have gone to my grave without having know that, without being unfulfilled in any way. :)
