A new study by researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine has found that the further north in England you go, the more likely you are to find fecal bacteria on people's hands, especially men. But women living in the south have little to feel smug about. In London, they were found to be three times as likely as their menfolk to have dirty hands. The men of London registered the most impressive score among all those surveyed, with a mere 6 percent found to have fecal bugs on their hands.

"We were flabbergasted by the finding that so many people had fecal bugs on their hands. The figures were far higher than we had anticipated, and suggest that there is a real problem with people washing their hands in the UK. If any of these people had been suffering from a diarrhea disease, the potential for it to be passed around would be greatly increased by their failure to wash their hands after going to the toilet," warned Dr Val Curtis, Director of the Hygiene Centre at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

i'd be interested to see how brits compare with everyone else in the world when it comes to shitfinger. also, i suspect the human immune system can handle a modicum of fecal particles without provoking the urge to vom
and finally, lol @ poobrain for getting so defensive

It can, and they expect some, but brits lowered the bar.
Mind you, it isn't arab cabbie BO, but could use a little work. Maybe pass a law or something, you're good at that.
