Unfounded Theory

The other day I was thinking about handshakes when I was reminded that I'm left handed. It made me wonder if I'm exposed to less germs when I shake hands with people, when I use the railing that is typically on the right side, when I open doors with my right hand because otherwise you just open the door into yourself... and then I touch my face with my left hand.

I haven't been sick enough to go to the doctor since I was in high school. An informal survey revealed that most lefties in my office feel that they are sick less often than their right handed counter parts.
