You put bacteria in a growth medium! What did you expect to happen? Oh no, there's some Staphylococcus on my phone! It doesn't matter! There will be such minute amounts it won't make the slightest difference. Oh and as for the herpes thing, people you'd lend your phone to often are your friends so you'll be hanging around with them, making aerosol transmission and direct-contact transmission far more likely than just the odd phone use.

The wipes are quick drying, and don't leave streaks on the phone! Give them a try!; Sunday, March 29, 2009 5:29:00 AM
