Because of this, Tierno, a microbiologist at the New York University School of Medicine says you should only use a towel three times before tossing it in the wash

And if you're sharing a towel with other people, you could come into contact with organisms that your body isn't used to dealing with — such as Staphylococcus aureus, Tierno said

not all microbes are bad for us. In fact, many of them are harmless and some may even be beneficial in the long run. Exposure to germs and certain infections may actually help prime the immune system.
What in the actual frick?
I am NOT using a towel 3 times. And I am for sure not sharing a towel with a damn one of you!!

To hell with being prudent. Ima be one selfish summabish

Don't worry, your wife has a strong immune system, I've already exposed her to everything

Why not?

why would you share a towel with other people?

Guaran-damn-teed that towel gets used 3 times by me. You just took a shower and are supposedly clean. Why the frick do you throw it in the wash after 1 shower?

I agree. You can double that.

I'm assuming you've never served in the military?

I was wondering the same thing, when the microbiologist brought up that fact in his interview

I use mine 2-3 times but I don't share. Just hang out it up and let it dry out.

You obviously have a weak immune system. I have used towels for weeks and more. Every time I shower I am clean. The towel takes the clean water off of me. Then dries. Your gut is full of bacteria. So is the world. By being a freak about it you are destroying your immune system. I never get a cold. I rarely get the flu. If I do it's a 2 day mild deal. I don't live in a sterilized world. I live in the real one.

This. I'll hang it and let it dry after my last use instead of tossing it in the hamper to mildew.

During his glory days Jerry Lewis never rewore a pair of socks.
And he gave away his suits after a few weeks.
True story.

Yep. We have more bacteria cells in us than human cells. It amazes me how some people on this board act like internet badasses and then turn into complete pussies when it comes to snakes and spiders and germs.
"Ooh gross! Reusing towels is ICKY!"

The people who brought you global warming.

I don't get it.
I use the same towel about 20 times before it gets washed.
It's drying off a clean body.
