Are you squeamish about using public restrooms? Mental Floss has a list of surfaces you may regularly interact with that actually have more germs. Here are a few:
Hotel/Motel Bedspreads: Hotels and motels do not change or launder the bedspreads on a daily basis.
ATM Keypads: ATM keys can provide a home for Bacillus Cereus, a bacterium that can cause symptoms in humans similar to those of food poisoning.
Restaurant Menus: Flu viruses can survive on a hard surface such as a menu for as long as 18 hours.
Grocery Carts: These are rife with such bacteria and viruses as E. coli, salmonella, and Staphylococcus.
Swings and Monkey Bars: Many studies have found traces of human fecal material on such equipment, and children with runny noses tend to use their hands as handkerchiefs while playing.

Notes: left out hospitals, focus on own immune system as more important. Also CAFO as primary source of pathogenic antibiotic resistant bacteria. (Antibiotics have routinely been fed to healthy cattle, pigs and chickens as a preventative measure and as a growth enhancer. The FDA hopes to curb that abuse by requiring veterinarians to prescribe any antibiotics used in livestock. http://www.mnn.com/food/healthy-eating/blogs/fda-rules-vets-must-prescribe-antibiotics-for-livestock) NOI triclosan
