PSA: If someone wrote up a LW article summarizing interesting results from the psychology of contamination I'd totally upvote it at least once.

Nick Tarleton showed me a study about how hand-washing changes people's risk aversion/seeking. As someone who takes a totally insane number of baths this wouldn't surprise me.)
