From The Ledger in Lakeland, Fla.:
Fist bumping spreads significantly fewer bacteria than the other methods, a study in the August issue of the American Journal of Infection Control reports. The researchers were from the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences at Aberystwyh University in Wales.
Trials were done in which people wearing sterile gloves dipped a gloved hand into a germ-containing container, then made different types of hand contact with others who wore sterile gloves.
Fist bumping won hands down over the others.
As far as public health campaigns go, this one sounds more credible than guilt-tripping college students for smoking a hookah while doing homework.
