As a nurse I have to wash my hands more thoroughly and I suspect far more often than most lay-persons would during the average day and yet my hands have, as yet, failed to dissolve into mushy stumps.
I wash my hands cos that’s the hygienic thing to do, but also because it’s a good opportunity to get rid of the bacteria from them that all you horrible dirty non washers are leaving everywhere.
Neglect. It’s not about choosing not to wash, it’s about neglect, both of your own hygiene, and by contact transfer mine. Go and wallow in your own filth for my money, but don’t spread it all over my world. 😡
