The hand to hand contact isn't the problem. It's sticking your fingers in your mouth afterward that will cause you problems.
All I'm saying is use good hygiene and you don't have live your life like your in a bubble.

You're right in some ways. But avoiding hand-to-hand contact is one more step to take in avoiding spreading germs. Also, I exaggerated about outlawing handshakes. The doctor I was talking to works with patients who are on extensive immunosuppression, and want their patients' families to be obsessive about avoiding ANYTHING that could get to the kid. She encourages us to watch a few Monk videos if we need ideas (she exaggerates there, too, though!)
