Plastic bags are bad for the environment, so I got some of these reusable bags. The article assures me I’m not going to make my family sick by using these, but sheesh - is there no end to all the things that are potentially bad for you?

People are just germphobic these days. Humans survived for millions of years before some marketing dickhead came up with hand sanitizer gel. I use the reusable bags all the time, never wash then and never made me sick.
