germ transmission

Blowing out candles on a birthday cake. Blah! You'd think this wretched ritual would have disappeared long ago, especially once Covid made its appearance. But people are still doing it. Furthermore, the science to determine whether this practice can make you sick is faulty. Have a strong stomach.
Holiday season means parties, and parties usually mean lots of dips and chips/crackers to dip in them. But besides people passing germs around when packed in party spaces, there's another germ-transfer method double dipping. And re-dipping a tidbit after it's already been bitten is by no means a sanitary practice.
