I remember back at the height of the pandemic, I saw this lady licking her finger so she can open those plastic bags, then proceeded to touch multiple vegetables and fruits.
Of course people touch those all the time. Maybe they sneezed before entering the store etc.
Always wash the things you consum before because you never know.
And with the bag you just breath on your findertips and then you have some grip. And the you, of course, proceed to touch every vegetable and fruit you can lay your filthy fingers on.
Oh for sure, I know people with more filthy hands probably touched the produce, and I do wash them when I get home. I was just sharing something I remember at a time where spreading bodily fluids was an extra concerning thing.
And no, I personally do not touch the produce. I open the plastic bag just with my hands, invert it to wrap around my hand, and grab the produce with it. So my hands never directly touch them.
OMG. Did you know you have germs on you RIGHT NOW!?
Better drink bleach to take care of the germs internally too, just to be safe.
I wet my finger on the drops that fall from the misting nozzles in the produce area. Works every time, no licking. You're all welcome.
During the pandemic (and also to this date) I open bags sometimes by visiting the refrigerator section and touching the bed of the shelves. A lot of grocery stores have fridges that spray water in the section so it will get my fingers wet. It's even easier if Im buying a vegetable from that section, since I just have to touch the thing I'm buying and my fingers will be wet enough to open the bag.
