I always had fun making them although I'm sure my mom didn't as she was the one handwriting in calligraphy for my display. Does that date me or what? So, I completely understand you.

Each volunteer pressed eight fingers into the "dirty" side of a petri dish (nutrient jelly included). Then they divided the volunteers into three different groups, one to wash with regular soap, the other with anti-bacterial and the third with sanitizer (the kind with at least 60% alcohol). The volunteers had 20 seconds to scrub and then they pressed their fingers into the "clean" side of the dish.<BR/><BR/>The boys took all the dishes to the lab and after three days in the incubator, they returned to check on the bacteria. After comparing all the dishes and their growth, the fingers that were cleaned with the sanitizer had the least amount of bacteria on them. There were eight dishes per type of soap, so they got a pretty good gathering. They think they'd like to try it again and let people wash for 30 seconds and see what happens. <BR/><BR/>The good news is sanitizer works better than we thought.Lees Everything Homemadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412308537351909314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321119267956062398.post-9283913415069100892008-02-27T10:25:00.000-07:002008-02-27T10:25:00.000-07:00I thought it was so cute that he called everyone, ...I thought it was so cute that he called everyone, what a smarty pants.DeAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519038043649641828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321119267956062398.post-89648372021156631772008-02-27T09:29:00.000-07:002008-02-27T09:29:00.000-07:00No kidding?

How did they figure out how much bacteria was killed? Just curious. I'm science illiterate.<BR/><BR/>And...uh....no. That doesn't make you a bad mommy. That makes you the kind of mommy I like. :-)Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05464791181710006471noreply@blogger.com
