Well, it's mostly water, enzymes and a bunch of bacteria. The enzymes make it work, the bacteria limit the number of reasonable applications.
I hate that you are right. Anyway, I get annoyed when people do that. I don't like people licking their fingers before turning a page. I don't like mothers wiping their children's faces with their spit. I definitely don't like touching surfaces that have been "cleaned" with the saliva of someone who has God knows what disease. And so on.
Maybe I have been "hygienically damaged" during the pandemic.
Unpopular with me for sure. Have my upvote.
I have feelings on 'both sides of the aisle', but I used to be more grossed out about other peeps unhygienicals. I think that got less and less, because my view of the world around me has become dirtier and dirtier :). Now it's like, what can 2 trillion bacteria even add to the scale? it's all bad anyway!
Huh, I had no clue this was a proper thing. But if you want to increase your tolerance, try spending more time around dogs or little kids
That depends on what you're cleaning. The human mouth is very unhygenic by animal standards.
What do you mean, other animals mouths are cleaner?
Also your comment made me realize I probably got the idea from cats. Didn't even realize it, but now it's glaringly obvious.
We carry a lot of bacteria in our mouths. All animals do, but we're up there because it's like a dark swamp.
I skimmed the title and misread as "salvia". Mistakes were made.
