Troy you made me laugh out loud. No, I didn't mean I wash my meat. Some of the ads for these soaps tell you to be sure and wash with an anti-bacterial soap after you handle chicken especially. (I usually handle my chicken in the kitchen ) The fear is that you would maybe begin to make a salad or something and your "salmonella laden" hands would contaminate your salad. I'm glad your kitties have suffered no ill effects. There does seem to be much more of a concern these days about this sort of thing than in years past. Eggs are scary things too. Soft boiled eggs are a thing of the past.
