Hello
Oh, other people are so gruesome, bäähh how disgusting, who invented them? My dear Toni, what planet are you from? The few bacteria and germs won't kill you or seriously endanger you. You don't have to lick the handles, but you can touch them safely. In everyday interpersonal contact, you sometimes shake hands, hand something over, take something from someone or even kiss a gorgeous new acquaintance without disinfecting first. The things you could catch if you hadn't been hardened by years of touching shopping cart handles and built up a natural resistance. :-)
Moist disinfectant wipes are available in various pack sizes. For a hypochondriac, I would recommend a large pack for at home and a small Tupperware filled with it for on the go. Simply wipe the shopping cart handle and you're good to go. In the Migros baby or Kosmitik department there are also wet wipes or refreshing wipes that serve the same purpose and can also be used as a napkin on the go.
For the monk faction with a washing compulsion, there are these latex disposable gloves. A suitable personal assistant, like Sharona from the TV series, can certainly be hired through the employment office. After all, the products in the supermarket have already been touched or handled by many people. Oh God, how terribly unhygienic must the change be? Please be sure to pay by card and don't forget to wipe the buttons on the card reader.
Greetings from the Migi piglet
who doesn't feel dirty even after stroking a dog.

So good, thank you dear @deactivated usethat I was allowed to laugh so heartily this morning, wonderful!
You are so right, I don't think I need to say any more.
Your answer is great, perfectly presented.
?
Even though I personally have no problem with this, here's an idea: take a roll of cellophane with you and wrap it around the handle.
Hello @moz79
another brilliant idea, I'm amazed at all the things that can be done, because to be honest, I've never thought about the weighing handles before and lo and behold, I'm still healthy and enjoying life.
When I imagine that there would be much more gruesome things than such a handle, just public toilets or what we perhaps all still know: a sandpit to play in!
Smile, smile, I really enjoy such questions or concerns ?
Hello Engel63
Since I grew up on a farm in Belp for the first four years of my life, I have a pretty high tolerance for dirt and bacteria. I even sucked a tick when I was two, much to the horror of my mother, who didn't know why I was bleeding from the mouth :-)
I don't have any allergies, except maybe at work and when cleaning ;-)
But people are different.

Hello
Yes, it's good to have a joke topic in between. Laughter is known to be the best medicine for everything and for everyone. :-)
@Engel63
If you like such questions and concerns, then perhaps the movie "Wetlands" with the beautiful Carla Juri. The movie was most fun in the cinema. The DVD is best watched together with others, because the reactions are too delicious. Toni would probably faint at the introduction. :-)
Hypochondriacal tendencies like the Wägeligriffe are the result of TV advertising. Unstable people are persuaded that all their fellow human beings are highly toxically contaminated bioweapons and that they can only stay healthy if they buy special disinfectant soap. There are already touch-free liquid soap dispensers for the bathroom, even with cute children's motifs for the little ones. Not forgetting the room sprays and room perfumes to mask odors, because ordinary airing after going to the toilet is suddenly no longer modern enough. People should also be disgusted by their own family members so that the soap company can make even more sales with useless stuff and the mountain of garbage grows even bigger. How sick are the people who came up with this?
What's missing is a baby or toddler cleaning machine where you can put the child in when changing diapers. It can be so gruesome when a child wets its diaper and is completely smeared with gaggi. Oh God, just don't touch the stink bomb, it could make you sick. Human closeness and social imprinting are overrated anyway, let's leave that out altogether. Perhaps a Borg maturation chamber from the Startrek universe would be a good development. While we're on the subject of the spaceship, food replicators would be a great idea. Hundreds of people have already eaten from the cutlery and crockery in the Migros restaurant, wow! Imagine the viruses, germs and bacteria on them. Regardless of whether it's a domestic or catering dishwasher, the more often the appliances are used, the dirtier they get. A multitude of bacteria and fungi feel right at home in them, even at high temperatures, since they have mutated into super pathogens. The only thing that helps is cheap lye, household acid or Superman's Kryptonite. Grandma's grandma had nothing else, but this stuff is cheaper and much better than the modern stuff.
Get rid of carpets, tablecloths and curtains, dust mites live in them. 
Yes, that's what it looks like on the mattress, pillow and blanket. The creatures feed on human dander and we then breathe in their excrement. Mmmh delicious what crawls around on you night after night and gets into your body via all your orifices. Have you ever drooled on your pillow or had fun in bed with your partner? Even if you had a fresh shower beforehand, there is always something that finds its way orally into the body. At the latest when drying off, you smear yourself again with spores, germs, mites, bacteria and their legacies from the towel. The largest, most versatile and most sensual human organ is the skin, which I personally love to taste, but I'm allowed to, after all, I'm a piglet. :-)
Most coliform bacteria, which look like furry Redbull cans with long threads under the microscope, are found around the bathroom and toilet. Because they live in the intestines, they can also be found in every pair of underpants. If they are left in the laundry basket for even a short time, they are everywhere. Hardly anyone washes their daily, lightly soiled laundry at full temperature. The "underwear microfauna" survives the usual 30°C for synthetics or 60°C for heavily soiled cotton without any problems. During the wash cycle, it is then evenly distributed on all other items of laundry. For this reason, and because some of them remain on your hands, you will also find these cute little creatures on dishes and cutlery, on breaded schnitzel and in breakfast cereals.
Most modern detergents are not suitable for effectively combating microorganisms, viruses or fungi. Heavy-duty detergents contain bleach, which can be deadly for germs, but color detergents do not. It doesn't matter, there is a hygiene rinse aid, but it is no more effective than the bleach and germs and bacteria build up a resistance to it if you use it often. Yes, the washing machine itself is one of the best breeding grounds for the most gruesome and stubborn organisms in the world.
You can save yourself the money for fabric softener by using half the amount of 20% vinegar essence instead, just like grandma used to do. In winter, add a few drops of essential fragrance oil to combat the smell. Vinegar is at its strongest when it is added to the wash in the last rinse cycle instead of the fabric softener. This natural additive kills spores, viruses and germs in an environmentally friendly way, even at low temperatures. The very best way to kill bacteria and germs is to leave the laundry to dry in the sun. The sun's high-energy UV radiation breaks down molecules and is the most reliable way to kill germs and bacteria.
A simple household remedy that can be used to combat pathogens in the dishwasher is also very suitable as a bath additive or toothpaste. Strangely enough, it's only available here for a lot of money in the pharmacy, but in the big canton over there it can be found quite cheaply among the baking ingredients. We are talking about good old baking soda. A super versatile product for cleaning, well-being and much more.
During a quick web search, I came across a Spiegel article about Sagrotan. This multi-cleaner for the kitchen and bathroom is more powerful than disinfectant soaps for the skin. You can work out that 99.99% of disinfectants don't come close to doing what you want them to do. There is good money to be made in scaremongering and frightening people. Washing your hands with a normal bar of soap is completely sufficient, as it always worked well in the past. With liquid soaps, you almost always use far too much anyway, which is an unnecessary burden on sewage treatment plants. Fragrances and perfumes from soaps, shower gels and detergents inhibit the growth of the bacteria that are supposed to purify the process water. So using the good old bar of soap not only saves a lot of money but also makes it easier to clean the waste water.
Incidentally, the water on our planet was brought to earth billions of years ago by comets and asteroids. The water we drink every day has been used thousands of times by other creatures. Whether as a thirst quencher, body fat, saliva, brain fat, nasal mucus, urine or other tasty things. Perhaps some healing springs are so effective because they are diluted dinosaur pee. Ever heard of urine therapy? :-)
The disgusting, gruesome Migi piglet greets and waves from the mud bath.
Thanks piglet, NOBODY really wanted to know that soooo precisely.
Live long and prosper
