Problem is that if the machine is a breeding ground because of the warm liquids stuck in there is is virtually never sanitized.
It's something I don't like to think about.

I kind of figure (this is delusional, I know, but it makes me feel better so I thought I'd share) that by exposing myself to stuff regularly when I'm healthy, I'm less likely to get some weird infection if I ever get really sick. Aside from people with compromised immune systems, it seems like given that there are going to be times where we can't control what we are exposed to, it's maybe better to not suddenly be exposed to a zillion new bad things at once.
Not that I go out of my way to be exposed, but I feel no need to bring portable lysol or bleach solution with me to spray stuff down.
