It still amazes me how people don’t think twice about passing a glass or bottle around. The human mouth is a cesspool of bacteria and viruses, not all of which exhibit symptomatically.

    I have the same issue! I didn’t share with my kids or anyone else except, on *very* rare occasions, my husband. I figure I’m already dying of whatever he has so as long as it’s one sip, I’m okay. Double dipping? He’d get the whole dip/guac/whatever and a really icy stare.
