The title is unrelated to the subject body. Furthermore, the content is already has a WP page, if the author wanted, he can simply improve on it.  Kinkreet ~&#9829;moshi moshi&#9829;~ 21:44, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. I'm not positive, but coudln't this potentially just be Speedy Deleted under criteria A10, since as mentioned, the actual body of the article is already covered elsewhere?  Rorshacma (talk) 17:23, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Essay/original research, completely unencyclopedic, and an unlikely search term. --MelanieN (talk) 19:22, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I am inclined to consider this a hoax; the PoV is so pointed that the author even introduces some of it in the form of a question to help the medicine go down. "Can you count the amount of bacteria, fungal, protozoa etc, that have been transmitted into your mouth?" I count this a poor essay at best. Anarchangel (talk) 22:24, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - random thoughts about hygeine do not an article make. Bearian (talk) 17:55, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The subject of this article is foodborne illness due to poor hand washing by food vendors. The structure—which starts off with apparently unrelated threads, and then later weaves them together—is unusual in Western culture, but it is typical of an educated person from parts of Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia.  I'm fairly confident that we already have an article on this subject, but the question is, which one?  The author doesn't seem concerned so much about fecal-oral transmission as fomite-hand-oral (via food) transmission.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:27, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
