There is a thing pretty much every human being does about a few times per day that may be banned soon: handshakes!
Doctors are calling for handshake bans around the globe and want people to trade them for fist bumps to stop the spread of germs and “save large numbers of lives.”
The seemingly absurd notion that handshakes must be banned in order to save lives makes a lot of sense, it turns out.
Doctors reached a consensus that firm handshakes are the least hygienic greeting, with a 2014 study suggesting that a single handshake transfers 124 million live bacteria on average.
Yuck! The shocking findings have alarmed medical doctors around the world, with many U.S. hospitals banning handshakes and encouraging people to fist bump instead.
Just think about how many million live bacteria U.S. President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron exchanged during their infamously and uncomfortably long handshake during a meeting in May!
