      I wash my hands after using the loo.

      While I’m working though we have to be really careful. Every time we get the samples out we have to work with them in what is essentially a big vacuum cleaner which sucks up all the air and filters out all the nasty stuff. Gloves and lab coats are essential. You wouldn’t want to rub your nose with hands this dirty! Everything that comes into contact with the samples gets cleaned with some really fancy chemicals which kill everything. You may have seen adverts for cleaning products which claim to kill 99.9% of bacteria, well these kill way more than that.
