    How do you survive day-to-day life?! I cannot imagine how weak your immune system is from lack of challenge. Yes, I’m fully vaccinated, not one of those idiots, but neither am I worried about bacteria like you seem to be.

    Apologies, not trying to jump your ass, just can’t fathom such an attitude. I’d lick such a pen on a dare, think nothing of it, and nothing would happen. LOL, and I came of age in the AIDS epidemic!

      Pretty sure a little girl died of Meningococcal around the area where I grew up and lead to a large push on public awareness of not sharing drinking utensils in particular.

      Another prevalent disease spread around when I was younger was cold sores and another that effected my family was golden staph which a sibling of mine had an infection and we were forbidden from sharing any eating or drinking utensils with.

      I guess my point is that I’m glad you’ve never worried about it. For everyone else, be hygienic and don’t suck on public pens.
