HOW DIRTY ARE YOU?
Glamour polled nearly 1,000 women on everything from sitting on public toilets to re-wearing dirty clothes, and then sent the results to Billy Goldberg, M.D., and Mark Leyner, authors of “Let’s Play Doctor.” Here, find out which habits are unhealthy — and which are filthy but fine.

Ever Wear Dirty Clothes? A full 85 percent of women have. (Jinger answer…..Yes)
Just draw the line at underwear (which 52 percent of poll-takers have re-worn). According to microbiologist Charles Gerba, Ph.D., there is roughly a tenth of a gram of fecal matter in worn undies.

Have You Ever Peed in the Shower? Almost 75 percent of poll-takers have. (Jinger answer…..Yes)
Toilet flushing accounts for almost 27 percent of indoor water use in a home, urine is sterile and nontoxic, so why not save it for the shower!

Do You Follow the Five-Second Rule? More than 40 percent of women eat food that’s fallen on the floor.
Since it takes very little bacteria to make you sick, it’s a good idea to toss fallen food into the trash. (Jinger answer…..Yes)

Do You Go Barefoot at the Gym? 32 percent of women said yes.
If your feet (and the areas between your toes) remain moist, an infection can grow…and grow. So splurge on a pair of $1.99 drugstore flip-flops. (Jinger answer…..No)

Do You Brush Your Teeth Every Night? 43 percent of poll-takers said they don’t.
Skip it, and you’re giving the germs in your mouth time to multiply, especially since the production of bacteria-killing saliva decreases when you sleep. (Jinger answer…..Yes)

How Often Do You Shower? Almost a third of women said they don’t shower every day.
Stink-causing bacteria feast on sweat released by your apocrine glands, which are concentrated in areas like your armpits and groin. They pose no health risk, but you may clear out a row at the multiplex. (Jinger answer…..Not always everyday)

Do You Wash Up After Using the Bathroom? 24 percent of women don’t do it every time.
Hand washing is the single most effective way to prevent the transmission of almost any kind of disease. So without question, wash up after using the bathroom. (Jinger answer…..Not with soap and water. She uses anti bacterial soap)
