Reply:how warm is "warm"?





bacteria, as well as cells, tend to grow best at 37 degrees C (body temp of "warm"-blooded animals) and 5% Carbon dioxide (or close to these figures)





so if 37 degrees C is considered warm, then the complete opposite occurs, "warm" water would encourage bacterial growth





so use soap
