Other bad behaviors in public restrooms

We’re in the midst of National Clean Hands Week, in case you didn’t know. So it’s time for another study that shows Americans to be neglectful about washing their hands when using a public restroom. Commissioned by the American Society for Microbiology and the Soap and Detergent Association, the latest of these research extravaganzas monitored people’s behavior at public restrooms in Atlanta, Chicago, New York and San Francisco. (Sadly, the study did not include men’s rooms at the Minneapolis airport, which might have further enlivened the findings.)
