Almost certainly they are. For one thing, the water temperature will be
much higher, typically, then your hands can stand. Second, what d'ye
actually use to wipe the dirty dish with? SWMBO insists on using a
dishcloth (as do most vemales, near as I can tell), rather than a brush,
which has at least some chance of not having previous food on it. A
cloth will always be riddled with germs, too, even though SWMBO does
boil it in bleach from time to time.
