i dropped a business card in the toilet and used a rag to get it out, the rag absorbed the water and my hand slightly felt the wetness through the rag. i then proceeded to wash my hands with copious amounts of soap four times, and covered them in copious amounts of two different types of hand sanitizer just to be sure three separate times.
i also threw away not only the business card but the entire rag itself, wanting nothing more than to burn it.
