I would call that a little obsessive - some of those germs are helping
your body create antibodies so they won't fall victim to every little
nuanced germ or bug that comes along.

I don't worry about public bus rails - our buses are pretty clean -
but I always wash my hands when I get home, AND I keep my hands away
from my face. That's the best thing you can do to keep the nasties
away.
