You probably never think about this kind of stuff when you go to the Gym.


Germs At The Gym

You know that other people use and sweat on the equiptment, but do you think about what's in that sweat?
Not trying to cause some crazy scare, but they mentioned some pretty scary things.

Think about this, if the person who uses the equiptment before you isn't "a regular bather" or doesnt wash their hands after the go to the bathroom or even just doesnt clean up completely after doing so, then sweats all over something that you will use next without cleaning it off. How about if someone sweats all over the seat of something and you unthinkingly wipe it up with yopur towell that you later use on your own face? [img]eek.gif[/img]
They did mention at least one gym that had bottles of sanitizer and paper towells at every workout station.

Saw it, and thought it was worth noting.
