Don't go around worrying about those handshakes.

Have you talked to an infectious disease specialist lately? Handshaking is something a lot of doctors would like to have outlawed. Hand to hand to other body part (nose, eye, mouth, wound or sore, etc) is one of the best ways for germs to spread. Hands are much better at spreading germs than "things". Handwashing is the best way to avoid a lot of colds and flu, and avoiding hand to hand contact is another strong preventive measure.
At least, that's what every doctor I talk to says.
