Hand

Would you want your hand to be re-attached to your body if it had spent any amount of time in the belly of another animal?

I'm not so sure. I mean, on one hand (no pun intended) I AM Rachael, confirmed germ-o-phobe. On the other hand, I like my hands...and particularly using them to do things like eat, shower, and type blogs. I think it would come down to how long the hand had spent inside the animal's tummy. I mean, a few minutes, okay, just wash it off and we're good to go. Three days? EW. I mean, wouldn't the stomach acid have done a number on "my" skin, not to mention the inside parts of the human hand? Gross. They have got to make pretty sweet prosthetic hands by now...
