Wrong it's the 5 second rule.

- OP: what's the worst that could happen from picking it off the hospital floor? If nothing else you may boost your immune system

Hell No.

I don't touch anything in a hospital. I disinfect the soles of my shoes before getting back into my car.

Ask anybody who works in one. Those places are petri dishes full of nasty shit.

Aw, HELL naw!
How about 3 (or 10) seconds for food that hits the floor of the autopsy suite?
Didn't think so.
And yet, I guarantee you it's cleaner than most hospital floors.

Go ahead, practice Nietzsche-ism if you wish. I'm not that hard up for groceries.

It turns out, bacteria can infect stuff in less than 1 second.

My daughter's are nurses. I've been called by them to come "take care" of their shoes. They take them off at the door and leave them outside. I pick them up with a stick and put them in a 5 gallon bucket with water and detergent. After soaking overnight I pressure wash them and then run them through the laundry.

I've ask what was on their shoes. All I get is; "you really don't want to know and I'm not telling you."

My hospital shoes stay in my locker or are transported in a plastic bag. I call them my portable Superfund site.

I thought the 10 second rule only applied to food dropped in a fair / carnival port-a-potty?

I spend a lot of time in hospitals. My other half considers me a caveman, drop something in the floor I'll eat it. I've never been ill from it.

Now let's get back to that hospital thing. I've seen some things mane answer is no.

With a sufficient length of stick, this sounds perfectly acceptable. A disposable shoe covering would also help.

One night a few weeks ago, I had so much HIV+ blood on my right glove that it dripped in a trail back to the nurse's station.

3 second rule?

No. Freakin. Way.

I can't tell you how many times I have dropped a pill that I was preparing to give to a patient, and they said "that's okay, I'll take it anyways.' Uh, no. not ever. I'll get you another pill.

We had the one bounce rule for tissue processing.

I'm all about the 10 second rule, but I think I'd even turn my nose up at that. I've eaten things off some nasty floors/grates, but that may just be a bridge too far.
