....

Dude!, are you kidding!?!? Where the heck do you work, Bangkok ? ... did Opra just buy TBN ?!?!

I don't know why but germs are just not high on my priority list of "Things to worry about". I shake hands with everyone and never give a second thought about where that hand has been. I've worked on many construction sites in the past and have had to use Port-a-Johns, the woods, etc and had no running water to wash up before lunch . I'm still alive!

I always wash up after I use the bathroom or before I eat if a sink is available. If not, it doesn't ruin my day. I am surprised when I see people use the bathroom and then walk right by the sink. If it's there, I do believe you should use it.

I also spend lots of hours standing in and cleaning dirty horse stalls and paddocks with my wife. My 2 year old daughter walks through the dirty stalls every day while we work and she's as healthy as can be. I don't think a germ-a-phobe would do well on a horse farm!

I have horses, and I am very germ careful. Like I said I won't refuse to shake hands but as soon as the chance arises I wash. I don't touch bathroom door handles but in life you must open alot of doors.

I work at an armory. Army dudes in and out seldom washing even after number 2 sometimes. Why wash your hands just to recontaminate them on the towel dispensor or door handle? I take biodegradable soap camping too. I keep wipes in my car. I am seldom ill and have the best attendance record in my building.....

In that case I think it was more a matter of Japanese society frowning on public displays of physical affection.

As I understand it, the human body needs to be sick to build immunity, but it also is specific. Having the flu repeatedly will most likley not protect you from getting chicken pox and vis versa. Once you have had chicken pox though, the chance of you contracting it again is almost non existent. Even having dealt with one type of flu, your immune system may not necessarilly protect you from a different strain of flu.

I believe the human body was meant to get sick. By preventing all the minor illnesses you are denying the bodys immune system the chance to adapt to changes in types of sickness going around thus setting yourself up for a massive illness that your immune system is totally unprepared to combat. Unfortunatly since viruses mutate thru their environment, our ability to quickly travel the world does the same thing in providing us access to illness that our body is not familliar with. History has proven this over and over. Columbus discovering the new world and European settlers colonizing the Americas caused massive death rates in the native populations from new illnesses untill their immune systems adapted. Any guesses to the biggest killer during the first world war? If I recall my history correctly, it wasn't combat...

Second chance chicken pox is called shingles! Old folks get it all the time. Very painful illness. Vacinations for folks over 60 are now recomended.

I'm sure you guys already know this but you can carry Purell in your pocket (Go Jo) and wash without water or towels anywhere.

My ophthalmologist has it in all his offices and swears by it.

Purell kills 99.99% of most common germs in as little as 15 seconds without water or towels. Specially formulated moisturizers leave hand feeling soft and refreshed even after repeated use. Dermatologist tested. Dye-free

That's in my car... right next to the Lysol, diaper wipes, bleach and gas mask!
