I use to have a signature, then it all changed to chip and pin.

Germicidal (short) UV radiation required to sterilise is harmful, for obvious reasons, and is generally used under highly protected conditions. It also breaks down bonds in plastic and rubber. Sound like a technical challenge to me. A bit like telephones, toilet seats and cash dispensers the risks are probably less than we think. The more we sanitise the better bugs we make.

Kids who grow up on farms have a lower incidence of asthma than other groups. I believe it's because they are exposed to more 'dirt', just as my generation was, and we rarely came across anyone with asthma either. A little dirt is, I believe, good for our immune systems.

Yep. I saw one study that suggested Dairy farmers did not get lung cancer. Quite an interesting idea if true.

Still, I'd love to work for one of these companies. I'd patent "firing useless employees" and never get the sack! :D

It's more likely to be lots of fresh air.  ;D
