Do you use public restrooms? Do you wear those shoes in your house?

My point is, there are more germs to be transferred from other every day activities than to be stressed about a handshake. I would rather risk a few germs on a man's hand than create a very negative perception for refusing to shake a man's hand.
To answer your questions, in order:

1) no
2) don't know, but probably not
3) yes
4) I generally don't wear shoes in my house
