AIBU or is DH? - loo rolls for art/play

[JumpJockey]

I will honestly accept the opinion of MN majority on this one even if it means admitting he was right .

This morning dd was playing at trumpeting through the middle of an old kitchen roll. I went into the bathroom and picked up an empty loo roll tube off the window ledge for her to try, in case it made a different sound. DH (who is a doctor) frowned and said "No thanks, that can go in the bin". I noted that generations of children and Blue Peter presenters had been using loo roll middles for art/craft etc and nobody had died. He insisted that the presence of the loo roll in the bathroom meant it could have picked up horrible germs and wasn't safe.

Who was BU? Me, to potentially risk dd catching god knows what bathroom borne diseases? Or DH, for being massively over-worried?

I had this query once for a school project I was doing and was told by fairly loony school helpers that loo rolls had been "banned by the government". So I looked it up on the Health and Safety executive's advice website, which confirmed that ONE school had been asked to suspend use of loo rolls after an EColi type outbreak (later traced to food). The "ban" lasted a fortnight.

Couldn't convince them though. Loons
