My mom called me yesterday with the same question and advice after she'd seen this story on her local news station.
Apparently, studies show that most people don't wash their reusable shopping bags, leaving them susceptible to lots of bacteria and cross contamination.
It's great to see so many people using reusable bags nowadays in an effort to save the earth. Let's hope we all start to take precaution and clean our bags in an effort to save ourselves from potential illnesses. I'm definitely glad my mom called me about this issue...thanks, Mom!
