I have a friend who is an occupational therapist, she works with quadriplegics and paraplegics. I was telling her about a germaphobe I had dated and wouldn't touch hand rails on a staircase. She quickly stated she is in far greater danger of slipping on the stairs and falling (and ending up in a wheel chair for life) then picking up some virus which she could recover from.
I have another friend who's mother died from a fall down a flight of stairs.
So, I always use the handrails.
