The video shows 10 people coming into the restaurant, with one singled out as an "infected" person. A fluorescent substance only visible under black light is applied onto that person's hands, representing germs from a cough or a sneeze. Each participant then goes about the buffet as they normally would, not considering a potential contamination.

At the end of the video, the participants are cast under black lights illuminating where the "infection" has spread.

The substance, used to signify the germs, can be seen on food, serving utensils and platters, and even on the faces of some of the participants.

    Dude it's time to go camping. Anytime you get THAT wound up about hygieme, it's time to go back to nature and remember we live on a giant ball of biological goo. Shit gonna happen.

    Yep. As I recall, microbes outMASS all other life on earth by around 30:1. We're a thin multicellular film drifting on a vast microbial sea, and our bodies are completely dependent on the symbiotic microbes living within them to survive and remain healthy. Something like half the sugars in human milk are completely indigestible to humans - they appear to be present specifically to attract and nurture the microbial symbiotes the baby will need to thrive.
