And no paper towels to use on the handle

this is kinda funny because I was in microbiology and you rarely saw anyone there who was middle ground with germs. The knowledge either made them super casual about it or super rigid. I worked in labs where the professor kept his zip locked sandwich from home in the fridge that had the salmonella samples. I would have my dews in there but I did wipe them down with 95% ethanol before drinking.
