We're All Screwed

These stats, provided by Consumer Reports, either prove that some health warnings might be leading to paranoia, or that we're all screwed. You decide.

-75% of Americans put cotton swabs inside their ears, risking a perforated eardrum

-40% often eat raw cookie dough, which could carry salmonella

-Only 50% have a carbon monoxide detector at home

-61% don't have a rubber mat in the shower

-13% admitted to sometimes drinking beer while using power tools

-58% never wear a helmet while bicycling

-27% percent never use sunscreen

I imagine those stats are representative of about 10% of somewhere, meaning that almost everybody operates power tools while drinking beer.
