90% of people don't wash their hands long enough or vigorously enough to
get rid of most of the bacteria!!
if you have a friend who's been to medical school, ask them about that.

too funny...........
I know all about it, I assure youH2Andy:
I rinse mine in salt water. Puget Sound is, conveniently, full of salt water.
Why worry about a little diluted pee on your reg? Think what in a Hot Dog next time you stick one of those in your mouth.

I've only been on a couple of dive boats, but I remember rinsing my reg after the last dive. Then I rinsed it again after I got home.
WRT the posts about washing your dishes in the dirty laundry bucket, would you wash 'em in your fish tank? All those sea critters are doing nasty stuff in the water. So the answer is to quit diving and be a hermit in the high mountains with the pure air and Rocky Mountain spring water.

I normally dunk my regs as I get off the boat and then wash the mouthpieces well when I get home or back to the hotel, rubbing with soap and warm water. I figure it's more important to get as much salt off as soon as possible.
Quite honestly I've smelled much higher concentrations of pee in my regs on those occasions when my regs stayed in my dive bag on the boat overnight and other people's bags were placed on top of mine, dripping the pure stuff.
