not bullshit, if you're a nail-biter or face-picker, you can easily pick up loads of nasty things from the subway if you don't wash your hands before indulging in your habit.
i used to bite my nails when i first moved to nyc. one coldsore later & i quickly kicked the habit.
So he said it's almost impossible... That's not the same as impossible, so it is possible. So you CAN (although unlikely) catch a cold sore from a subway pole. Hmm... nice self contradiction there.
@Qw3rtypop For all intensive purposes, the idea of catching it like that is bullshit.
The person would essentially have to be licking the pole up until the point the other person touches it, haha.
It's like like you would need to swallow "gallons of spit" to get HIV from saliva.. which they tell us in health ed in school just to be like.. yea.. it's not that type of contagious.
I get the idea about how unlikely it is. My point was that it's not impossible and therefore shouldn't be proclaimed so. I wouldn't have cared if he'd pulled an obscure comparison of the probability out of his butt, like saying it was about as likely as winning the lottery while getting struck by lightning in the sahara desert as you strike oil under a double rainbow during a solar eclipse, but no, he just said impossible. Which is wrong
Thank you for sharing

How is it a myth if it's not impossible. This video sucks.

it's, for all "intents AND purposes," not "intensive purposes."
