even if you wash after, you will instantly touch something that has been contaminated by somebody else... door handle again...
My point is, for all of you who are ruled by state of fear, wash before you touch yourself.
If you are like me: Some dirt will keep your immune system going, then have FUN with what you feel comfortable with !:-)

If the facilities you are using do not have automatic towel dispensers, you approach the sink, crank out a long towel, then operate the faucets. Wash your hands for a twinkle twinkle little star, use your prepped towel to initially dry your hands. Using that same towel, crank out another towel, finish drying your hands. Crank another towel, close the faucets, crank another towel, use it to open the door. it ain't green, but it's clean.
Now if the silly facilities have one of those blasted, heavily weighted, covered trash cans... I'm sorry, I will just be placing my trash atop that stupid, poorly designed refuse collector...
