If someone's breath stinks and he (she) uses a spoon, does this become stink!
Question: And may such a spoon represent a risk for anybody else?
Answers: And may such a spoon represent a risk for anybody else?
I don't think so, the spoon would smell like the food they were eating. Now, if they weren't eating anything and scrapping the saliva off their tongue, I think it would smell a bit, not much. Actually, I hear that stainless steel takes out order (like when you touch an onion).
I recommend never sharing your utensils, I don't like it.
Isn't this your second spoon-related question?
I think you mean to ask more about Germs than stinkiness! If somebody has put something in their mouth whatever it is, a spoon, fork, lolly stick, whatever, if they have some sort of infection, eg cold germs, sickness bug, and then you put it in your mouth, then yes, you can catch that infection, you can't catch 'stinkiness' that all depends on the state of the persons teeth and what they've been eating
Hmmm... have the person with the bad breath lick a spoon and then smell it. Whether the spoon smells bad or not, it's not the smell that could pose a risk to others - it's the bacteria in their mouth. MANY illnesses can be spread via saliva, including mononucleosis (even nicknamed "the kissing disease"), strep infection (such as strep throat), etc. They could also have a staph infection in the gums, an open canker sore, oral herpes, or any other numerous mouth problems.
Bottom line - do not share utensils with other people.
