Yuck: Remember this the next time you go to shake someone's hand:
A survey of hand-washing in airport restrooms found people were especially fastidious this summer in Toronto -- right after the city had endured a SARS outbreak. Elsewhere in North America, people were as slovenly as ever.
The survey was done at airport washrooms in August in Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, Dallas, Miami and Toronto.
It found the dirtiest men were at Chicago's O'Hare and New York's Kennedy. Just more than 60 percent of them stopped to wash.
