    Being barefoot could potentially introduce extra risk of contamination from shedding skin cells; this may or may not matter depending on which part of the plant they’re working at. In clean room environments, people usually wear special clothing that prevent cross contamination; these include special coat, hair netting, and extra layer of covering around the shoes. But if the said employee works in the office on administrative tasks, far away from clean areas of production, who cares?

      I see. I figuered as long as they’d wear hair nets, masks, coats and gloves it shouldn’t matter what’s going on with their feet- but I suppose that could make sense? Idk, It still feels like a strange thing to be fixated on…

      I didn’t read the article, though

          And now I’m imaging them all in a bus, driving upward from someone’s toes, with a bumper sticker that says:

          “Destination: EyeDrops”

            More like they’re all uncontrollably spreading in the wind like leaves in an autumn storm, landing everywhere.
