Well, on a scientific experiment, a people were told about a glass of water that supposedly contained dog feces, but was cleaned, and sterilized. They were also given one that contain old tap water, was drinken out of, and was never sterilized. (of course, this wasnt the case, they were told this). 9 out of 10 people chose the non-sterilized glass, even though it was more likely to make them sick than the sterilized one, just because they were told it, at one point its existence, had dog poop in there.
