    i'm a bit worried now.
    i just licked the side of a yoghurt pot by accident when i was eating a frozen yoghurt and now i'm worried because i don't know who was touching the pot last and stuff like that.

    omg, i do the same thing
    once i got a soup-at-hand thing and
    it didnt have a protected seal on the mouth part
    I heated it up then after the first
    sip i started thinking of all
    the dirty children trying to get their moms to buy it
    for them and had to put it back because they said no,
    so i anti-bacterial-ed the sipping thing and was still
    so freaked out i just left it on the
    computer desk at my friends
    house and its probaly still there
    XD

    but anyway i think your fine
    as long as you didnt make out with
    the cup, just a little lick wont hurt

    I don't think it's a big deal at all. You have an immune system to take care of the accidental yogurt container, cell phone, pen, or remote control licking incidents.[img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

    well, basically, the yoghurt pot is the container that yoghurt comes in. I'm really weird... i buy yoghurt and i freeze it because i prefer eating yoghurt when it is frozen lol.

    So basically, i eat yoghurt as a giant frozen block and I inadvertantly licked the side of the container by accident lol.

    OH!

    ha ha ha

    sorry - I was thinking "pot" as in something you'd cook in and wondering why you'd lick that and...well, anyway.

    I suppose it's best not to lick anything that other people touch with their hands, to be sure. So long as the people with access to the "pot" aren't sick you should be fine.

    I'm pretty sure your immune system will take care of anything you may have ingested, but I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine.

    It was a tiny lick, so your chances of getting something are low.

    esp if the yogurt was frozen...cold kills germs. and yogurt is good for your tummy! i'd say you're safe
