On the other hand, most canine diseases do not jump the species barrier. I could catch pretty much anything a baby has (though, seriously, I'm not in the least a germophobe; I assume I'll die of something so if licking a public restroom floor looked like fun I'd give it a go; fortunately for my immune system it doesn't look like much fun).

My only problem with germ prevention efforts is how irrationally inconsistent many people are about them. And how little understanding they have of the true risks so that they can make informed decisions (a lot of people seem to assume that germs can instantly transport themselves to anything within line of sight).
