Dear Editor:

I watched with great interest this week with a TV commentary on passing bacteria to one another.We do not shake hands with one another, and only verbally give greeting of salutation.This commentary was about double dipping at parties. You know dip the chip and how we can pass micro organisms (bacteria) to one another. There was also a comment about back wash from folks that drink from same container.I cannot wonder if the folks in Haiti just trying to get a drink of any kind of water or share food reserves are concerned with the same issue as us pompous Americans.From the pen of K.
