Is it unhygienic to use someone else's nail clippers? |
|
Or is it just plain gross?

1. Haruka and I share nail clippers |
|
She is very easily icked out by stuff (ie Ped Egg sharing), but this doesn't bother here.

3. Are you putting them in your mouth? |
|
If not, how could it be unhygienic??

4. In the Army, they taught us the four Fs of disease transmission: |
|
food, flies, feces and fingers. Or were there five Fs? I can't remember, but I know what the fifth F oughta be.
Point is, fingers are magnets for infection, 'cause we keep touching stuff. Disinfect those nail clippers.

My roommates make fun of me, but I got colored nail clippers so I don't accidentally use theirs, and keep them in my room so they don't steal them. We'll see who's laughing when they lose all their fingers from some shared leprosy infection!

10. You would have enery right to visit them in the hospital when they are about to die |
|
of some terrible nail clipper-transmitted disease and tell them all," I TOLD you so." I think actual laughter would be a little too much. But that's just me.

Another thing I've never really thought about.... I guess as a parent, I've seen so many truly gross things, that this doesn't really faze me... :shrug:

And if so, did they disinfect the clippers?

shared the clippers. I keep my nail clippers in my room and don't share, now that I'm grown. I don't think it's the worst thing in the world. I would be more concerned about transmitting nail fungus from infected toe nails on ones self to your own fingernails. So don't share your clippers with our own bad self. Ewww.
