Kid Licks NYC Subway Hand Rail on a Dollar Bet [VIDEO]

On a dare, a kid in New York City licked an entire handrail at the entrance of the subway for a dollar -- and presumably all the benefits of YouTube stardom.

When I saw this today I almost barfed! Why the heck would anyone do something like this and only for a buck -- one dollar! Just thinking about how many disgusting hands slide down that rail everyday is crazy-gross.

I'm such a germaphob that when return from a shopping trip the first thing I do is wash my hands!

Mr. Rail Licker exposed himself to as many as 300,000 microbes, but experts say he probably won’t get sick:

“It would be safer to lick a toilet than a handrail on a bus,” Charles P. Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona said.

What is the craziest dare you have ever done?
