Hi There,

If you do not know from studies that bacteria do grow under artificial
fingernails how in heavens name can you start writing a policy to eliminate
wearing them. Should a scientific approach not be the other way around?
Maybe you could do some research on it your self. It is not that difficult.

Cheers Bart
