The 10 Germiest Jobs in America: Is yours on the list?

Fire Fighters should be added to this list 80% or our runs are fist aid. We go to to sick people, auto accidents, shooting, hart attacks and many other runs.

I think that a Hospital should be on the top of the list All the sick do go there I don't like going to the emergency room,If you are not sick when go in you might be when come out.

for #3 i would add just about job in a call center/office environment. you all breath all over each other every day and if one person comes in sick, 10 more end up with it. A few years ago I was sick for about a month with a chest infection. And i got it form my job. about 30 people were sick that time, not all as severly as I. And purell and other anti-bacterial products ae good to have, but some fear could lead to the creation of super-germs.

Funeral Home- talk about pathogens! Talk to me about that...

How about a lot Loader in Home Depot- I handle carts that are touched by everyone!, they never get cleaned, and I also handle the computers inside the store which also get handled by a lot of people (Keyboards are known to harbor a lot of things including fecal matter), point is I am incontact with a lot of surfaces that are handled by people daily.

I work in the casinos and there is nothing nastier than the combination of dirty money, dirty people, and alcoholics that can't hold their liquor in some way or another. I've seen it all but I will spare the details for those faint stomachs.

EMT's and Paramedics are subjected to everything and should be at the top of your list.

Why isnt democratic campaign worker there, they deal with the lowest slime, real trash, those wacko libs are trashy & rife with disease.

sick stuff!

Someone complained about going into the houses as an EMT? I concur. As a community based social worker, we have to sit in those house often several times a day for hours at a time. EWWWWW, the things I have seen...

bus boy/girls should be at the top of that list along with dish washers.. do you know how many dirty glasses, plates, silverware, etc. they touch .. just in one day?!?!??!?!?!

I think being a mom can be pretty germy. since i have had my daughter i can't tell you how many times i have gotten sick.

what about persons who work doing laundry at the hospitals and old peoples homes.The linen is saturated with urine , blood and feaces stains and other body fluids.this linen usually smells of ammonia from the urine.hand washing is emphasized and porper sanitizing of clothing.

I was horrified to read that airline steward/esses have to clean toilets without gloves!?!? W H A T ???? I would hope the Health Department would have some jurisdiction over the airline industry, especially since those same hands are handing out my bag of peanuts and opening cans of ginger ale! No wonder there is so much sickness and infection in our world.......

I work in a prison as a Corrections Officer. Their is a little bit of everything in there. We try to wear rubber gloves as much as we can. Because people are always sick.

what is MRSA?

Yeah I think waitressing and bartending should be on there. I work in a strip club and I'm sure theres a few germs floating around that place.... We deal with a lot of money esp dollar bills and the are stuffed in, well use your imagination....

We have our own buisness, my husband is a Master Plumber and my son is his helper and yes I worry about it everyday. When they come home first thing is first shower and change. Sometimes I think I am the only crazy one washing late at night making sure their clothes is clean. I separate their clothes and sometimes wish I had another washer just for them. Is it crazy?

Apparently, the author is not familiar with the myriad of germs an ICU nurse comes into contact with. I suggest that this list be revised and have #1 go to ICU nurses. Thank you.

dirty? how about garbagetruck mechanic, they break with garbage on them and the rats dont like visitors
