Fox News host Pete Hegseth sent a cringe wave across the Internet after he confessed that he hadn't washed his hands for ten long years.
Now, you may think that even for a person who is god-awful untidy, not washing hands for a decade is close to impossible - unless he or she is a cave dweller.
Hosting the weekend show Fox & Friends, Hegseth said, "As I told you, my 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off the air. I don't think I've washed my hands for 10 years. Really, I don't really wash my hands."
The bizarre confession came along when the TV hosts were discussing eating old Pizza.
Fox News¡¯ @PeteHegseth admits, unprompted, that he hasn¡¯t washed his hands in 10 years.

Hegseth later clarified that his comment was just exaggeration and that his main intention was to tell people not to be too obsessed with cleanliness.
The host also added that the infectious microorganisms didn't exist simply because they were invisible to his naked eye. "I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can't see them, therefore they're not real. I can't get sick," he added.

"We live in a society where people walk around with bottles of Purell (a hand sanitizer) in their pockets and they sanitize 19,000 times a day as if that's going to save their life."
"I take care of myself and all that, but I don't obsess over everything all the time," he told USA Today.
So the next time you spot a germophobe, tell them why it's important to have germs in our body, thanks to Hegseth.
PS: one gram of human faeces - about the weight of a paper clip - can contain one trillion germs, so what are you even fighting?
