I'm not a "germophobic" I usually wipe things with a dirty rag or sponge and the only disinfection in my house happens in my gut, but on reading the topic heading, that was the first thing I thought. I understand and sympathize with those who have a sensitivity to germs and infections. I think Anova is opening itself up to huge liability issues. Sure if you were to run it through the dishwasher with its increased temperatures you might be okay, but Anova doesn't make that mandatory, but rather "suggests" you can if you want.
