I would have cut off the bit he had licked and eaten the rest. If on the other hand the sandwich had been for DH the I would have made another. If it had made me ill then that's my own fault but I wouldn't want to have caused him to be ill. Then again, one Christmas I had made the trifle for dessert and found Sweep (RB) licking the cream. To be honest she had only had one lick so I spooned that bit and that around it off and respread the cream. I figured that any germs hadn't had time to spread onto the remainder.

If TuTu wanted my sandwich that badly, I'd give it to her and make another for myself -- what TuTu wants, TuTu gets! MLB |

MythBusters, on the other hand, showed that bacteria transfer the same in less than 5 seconds as they do with significantly more time, at least according to the petri dishes. Also: your keyboard is dirtier than your toilet, your toilet has far worse nasties, and your cell phone is absolutely disgusting.

Sounds like you're saying the keyboard is worse, and then saying the toilet is worse. I can vouch for my keyboard being dirty - I just cleaned it out, *partially*, because the space bar was sticking. It was *full* of crumbs! Joyce -- What business is it of the state how consenting adults choose to pair off, share expenses and eventually stop having sex with each other? -- Bill Maher |

I *may* have been tempted to remove the exact part the kitty was nomming on (and of course, return it to the kitty) but for the most part I would just eat it and not worry about it. Having the Yowlet and having to clean up after him when he was a baby has stopped me getting the 'icks' about alot of things. Yowie |
