I just saw that 3D glasses are covered with fecal bacteria and other bacteria that can cause yeast infections, and hair and skin infections. Yuck!
But you can kill the germs, just wipe the glasses with an antibacterial wipe.

6 biggest lies about food
Myth 1: Eggs are bad for your heart.
The Truth: Eggs do contain a substantial amount of cholesterol in their yolks—about 211 mg per large egg. And yes, cholesterol is the fatty stuff in our blood that contributes to clogged arteries and heart attacks. But labeling eggs as “bad for your heart” is connecting the wrong dots, experts say. “Epidemiologic studies show that most healthy people can eat an egg a day without problems,” says Penny Kris-Etherton, Ph.D., R.D., distinguished professor of nutrition at Penn State University. For most of us the cholesterol we eat doesn’t have a huge impact on raising our blood cholesterol; the body simply compensates by manufacturing less cholesterol itself. Saturated and trans fats have much greater impact on raising blood cholesterol. And a large egg contains only 2 grams of saturated fat and no trans fats. The American Heart Association recommends limiting cholesterol intake to less than 300 mg daily—less than 200 mg if you have a history of heart problems or diabetes or are over 55 (women) or 45 (men). “That works out to less than an egg a day for this population—more like two eggs over the course of the week,” notes Kris-Etherton.

Avoid theft
never, ever leave bags, purses, or anything in your car. if you must, cover those items with a cheap sweater or plastic bag. one of my family members carried her expensive gold jewelry in plastic grocery bags. one time she lost the bags, but they were returned to her, with everything intact!

Watch out for ATM crooks
Make sure the slot where you slide your card isn't a skimmer device, shield your pin number from view, and keep a close eye on balance.
Don't buy fake perfumes!!
I saw a news story that says fake perfume sold at flea markets or swapmeets contain urine, bacteria, antifreeze, and many germs.
By using them, you'll end up with skin rashes.
Fake perfume boxes have loose celophane, are thin, and barcodes on the side instead of the back.
It's better not to buy perfumes, because cheap ones are filled with gross things and the real ones are expensive.

Never click on those facebook ads to the right, because those companies will get your personal information and use it to scam you.

Never, ever
Never go with a bank robber or any kind of thief, kidnapper, etc. Fight for them not to take you from the place they want to take you from, or you might be raped or killed.
