I received from a friend this morning a warning that a flesh eating bacteria was found in bras and the pictures she sent me was absolutely horrible. We tend to forget that the clothes we buy have been who knows where and who touched them. It's important to wash all items of clothing before wearing them.2 people like this

Is it true or rumour for I often receive mails of this sort. If it is proven one must be on guard for sure.

send me your e-mail and I will send it too you..trust me this is real. It is logical that this could happen has we don't know where those hands who handle the machines or material wer
It has always been advised to wash your underwear and socks before wearing them. I would never either buy used underwear in thrift shops because backteria isn't always killed with soap so much less would I not wash any underwear that I don't know who touched them or where the material to make them was stored. 
I even after touching any clothing is stores..I disinfect my hands with a antibacterial cream.1 person likes this

hello dancingredfeather
oh my gosh! ewww, how awful that would be to have bacteria in your bra like that. and everytime that i purchase a new outfit or new clothes or anything new like that, not only for myself, but the rest of my family as well, whatever that the new item is, it does get washed and dried before anybody wearing it. ewww, there is no telling who has tried on the merchandise in the department stores these days. things aren't like that they used to be back in the sixties. lol you know what i mean? 
but thinking about it, i think that i would have loved to have grown up as a teenager in the sixties. i have always enjoyed watching the television show Happy Days and all of the fun that it seemed that the teenagers had back in those days. and i cannot imagine what the pictures looked like that your friend had sent to you of the bacteria. ewww.
take care and have a beautiful evening.

Not only that but ppl tend to forget that others might try on different clothes before buying them or return them after they've bought them and worn them. There can be all kinds of cooties running around the clothes.

This is a hoax, and probably a copycat one - there are multiple stories floating around. The bacteria known as "flesh eating" is a strain of streptococcus (known for causing strep throat). It is contracted through contact with an infected person, and it's only poses a problem if it gets in a cut or open sore. It is not typically transmitted by inanimate objects.

Not entirely true, you can go to the hospital and not even get in touch with someone and get it. Our prime minister got it and hadn't cut himself or even touched anyone who had it.
Well, I don't care if it is a hoax..it's a reminder that we should not take for granted that when something is new that there is no danger lurking in the material.
Just like when you guy canned goods, I bet you don't wash the top before opening it..right! Well, you don't know where they were and what bugs laid their eggs on them or did their pooh..etc.
Why you think now that there are self glued envelopes..because it has been proven that cochroaches lay their eggs on the glue..you lick it..you get infected..it was on t.v. a few years ago and that is why there is self glued envelopes at the post office..at least here in canada..all post offices must have self glued envelopes.
what I saw didn't look like a photo shop picture to me but even it was..I'm glad I saw it..because it will keep me from forgetting to wash clothes that who knows what bugs pooed or laid eggs on them.1 person likes this

Really did you see the pictures? You could be right..but it sure is a good scare don't you think? We don't know where the material comes from, what people do with it and bacteria can be transported on anything. It can live on toilet seats, why not in material. Not for nothing it is said to wash before wearing.1 person likes this

can you say,,ewwwww! Yes, Im a firm believer in washing everything before you wear it, especially undergarments..besides some of those clothes have all sorts of chemicals and even formaldehyde..Doesn't the flesh eating bacteria live on all of us? Isn't it staph? I could be wrong, but I thought it lived on our skin and in our nasal passages and we get infected when we get cut or scratched..
