Leaving your trail

On our vacation we needed to stop for some bathroom breaks along the way. It got me thinking about the trail we leave behind. If I hadn't todl anyone that we were going, and something happened to us, could they find us with the DNA trail we leave behind us? As I was helping Izzy on the potty, she got a little pee on the seat. I really don't like it when people leave their DNA on the seat for me to clean, so I cleaned the seat after Isabelle. I was thinking as I was doing that, what if I didn't clean the seat and left it there. That is my daughters DNA. Then we washed our hands, I had to touch the faucet, now we have left our finger prints. Then I started thinking about all the other random things we have ever touched or if I have ever spit somewhere, or if I lost any hair or dripped blood. Had I ever thrown out a banana peel or apple core, both would be covered with proof of me. I was amazed at all the places we leave our trail. It's no wonder criminals get caught. We are constantly without a conscious thought, leaving our DNA trail behind us. It's amazing to me. It's a totally random thought process that I had with this whole thing, I think I have seen too many CSI episodes.
