So bottom line, we're scared of residue. i might get stuff on my hands.

Ohmygod. Whatever shall I do?

Look, I'm not scared of some residue. or 'fluids.' Or whatever.

I've been covered in mud for days, as recently as a couple months ago. Drank water from a river. Didn't shower for a week while fishing 10 hours a day in 90 degree heat and ate food with my unwashed hands. I've been up to my armpits in the chest cavities of more than a dozen deer, or otherwise covered in the blood of countless gamebirds and animals. And shook a lot of hands while doing so over 4 decades. Not to mention to dozen or so quail I pulled the innards out of earlier this year.

Actually, the two best handshakes I can remember was the time I was covered in the guts and blood of my first buck with my dad, and when my brother finally got his first deer a few years later.

'Reside' isn't really a thing for me.

Looking at it now, I'm infinitely glad I wasn't raised to have such phobias.

Do you guys wash your hands immediately after finger-banging your girl/boy friend before you get to homebase, or do you just forego putting your naked finger inside another person entirely?

Must be kind of inconvenient, not to mention something of a mood killer.

This is really convincing me to not shake hands with people.
