Had you thought about these things as a way you're getting sick?

Well, for years I've been grabbing a towel to open public restroom doors, but I had not considered the build on menus -- and I sure didn't know about lemons!

I'll miss lemons, sigh --

I confess I am highly suspicious of the lemon scare. None of the articles I've seen has explained WHY lemons are supposed to be so risky. What is it about the lemons? Nothing about storage or where they come from. As I understand it - they're kept like anything else in a restaurant kitchen. So if the lemons are so nasty, what about everything else? The salad, for instance. Really it doesn't make any sense.

I'm guessing they are suggesting that people may not wash off the lemons before use? Which I doubt, but that could happen. Or that people might not wash their hands before grabbing slices and putting them on the rims?
