Can you help me find an article explaining why it is not sanitary to eat food from the container? ?

Question

My husband has a gross habit of eating peanut butter, or yogurt, or jelly from the container, with a spoon, and he will continue to use the same spoon with his saliva on it. This is food that the whole family uses. Im not afraid of his germs, however I read or heard somewhere how the bacteria from your saliva will grow and its just gross..........

Answer 1

That IS gross.

The human mouth is the biggest source of germs and bacteria and he should have been taught better when he was a kid.

I suppose he drinks the milk directly from the jug as well.

It is socially as well as hygeinically  unacceptable for him to continue with this nasty habit and it shows a lot of disrespect for you If he does not listen.

Just google germs in human mouth or bacteria in saliva..to get data

but just lettting him know it is uacceptable shoudl be enough to make him quit. or put his name on the container and get a separate one for the rest of the family...
