When Madame Tussauds released the new Robert Pattinson statue, fans went wild.  Countless pictures were taken with fans hugging Pattinson, dressed in the image of famous Twilight character Edward Cullen, even some girls went as far as kissing statue.  Well, there's a problem with getting touchy-feely with a statue that hundreds of people come in contact with on a daily basis: the spread of disease.

As a result, Robert Pattinson's "James Dean mane" must be washed frequently due to the fact that so many people have touched it, to avoid spreading diseases like the H1N1 virus.  Makes you just want to give him a great big hug now, right?
