There are certainly plenty of American natives (not Native Americans necessarily) and illegals who fit into the same category. I would say that at least 1 out of 3 or 4 people using public restrooms bypass the soap and water routine upon completion of their bathroom activities based on my admittedly less-than-scientific observations.bart simpsonsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840436089787700707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-39104399914211185402018-11-30T12:10:45.377-08:002018-11-30T12:10:45.377-08:00Aesop it has been 3 weeks or so, have we had our 9...Aesop it has been 3 weeks or so, have we had our 9th doubling in the 34 count apocalypse scale?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-13910521229197149082018-11-30T11:13:30.250-08:002018-11-30T11:13:30.250-08:00Yeah, there is shit on everything.

Nightly cleanings with peroxide or alcohol in there, etc. Still got Pseudomonas in my ear (we were all pretty certain from a pool as my earplug and cap must have dislodged), reached my brain, hospital for 3 weeks, etc. That's why Mum kept everything as clean as humanly possible. <br /><br />Bonus side effect - nobody in the house ever had any food related illnesses or Norovirus, and we never gave each other the flu or colds (patients like to give eye doctors viruses - you ever see an eye doctor and see how close they need to get to your face? Please don't go if you're virus-laden). <br /><br />So in our case, it was smart. Now that I live out in the country, I keep up the handwashing and the cleaning because it is pretty dirty with all this dirt around, chickens wandering around, etc., and I don't want to be eating that.

Unless you have some sort of unfortunate severe immune system problem, there is probably not much to be gained by acting like that Jack Nicholson character from "As Good as It Gets". <br /><br />And frankly, some of the "sterile procedure" stuff we do in medicine is probably theater. (That said, I was a stickler about following sterile procedures carefully back when I did clinical medicine, because it probably helps and doesn't hurt to do things cleanly as possible -- in specific settings.) But for those of you who have never been in an OR or a cath lab or the like, yes, we scrub down the patient's operative site with iodine, chlorhexidine or whatever, cover the rest with sterile drapes; and we ourselves scrub, gown/mask and glove, and we only touch "clean" stuff with our "clean" gloved hands -- but the sterile field and the sterile equipment table is right next to grotty stuff that's been sitting there in the OR for weeks, months, years, and the ventilation system is blowing god knows what into the room air, etc. It's not really CLEAN, it's clean-ish.<br />Mike_Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-75864611291731409582018-11-28T13:45:43.204-08:002018-11-28T13:45:43.204-08:00OT but wasn't someone recently talking about p...OT but wasn't someone recently talking about putting a monkey wrench in the works?<br /><br />https://moneymaven.io/mishtalk/economics/european-gas-stations-out-of-diesel-french-refinery-strike-deepens-crisis-QKfaVhJc0EuFHGx6OOf5ZA/Bear Claw Chris Lapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01190524236686025884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-22783273054552619552018-11-28T13:43:35.187-08:002018-11-28T13:43:35.187-08:00I guess that fits under the same category of placi...I guess that fits under the same category of placing items for consumption in the same space on a shopping basket where mom placed the baby with the leaking diaper.

I suppose you could just use peroxide, like I do. Kitchen and bathroom counters would get blasted with this stuff, then she'd wipe phones, doorknobs, keyboards, mice, and remotes and let it dry. Athome she'd only do it weekly, otherwise she'd use normal cleaners for surfaces, and NEVER SPONGES. Always those striped handi-wipes, which she'd swap out and let fully dry before using again. <br /><br />Was that overdoing it? I don't know - I do know I never got sick from any surfaces at home. Every time I got sick it was from a friend who was sick... sneezing, coughing, etc. Kissing boyfriends incubating colds was also a way to get sick. That was at least a more fun way to catch a cold ;) <br /><br />http://www.ugsmedical.com/Disinfectants/acceltbliquiddisinfectant.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-39468110567560832842018-11-28T12:54:33.245-08:002018-11-28T12:54:33.245-08:00Wash hands before you eat, after you use the bathr...Wash hands before you eat, after you use the bathroom, and never touch your eyes, nose, or mouth unless you've just washed your hands. Common sense, really. <br /><br />Hand washing is something a lot of people get wrong also. Hope Aesop doesn't mind me posting this. Mum was a doctor, I learned all of this at a very young age. <br /><br />She also taught me to grab disposable towels to turn the faucet off, open doors, etc. If towels aren't available (ugh), she'd elbow faucets off and elbow doors open. If it was a regular knob, then out came the Kleenex from her purse. Just normal fastidiousness from someone who had to wash their hands constantly. I'm pretty certain Aesop does the same thing. <br /><br />https://youtu.be/3PmVJQUCm4EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-46070781630476159982018-11-28T12:54:24.515-08:002018-11-28T12:54:24.515-08:00My philosophy is make friends with the local biolo...My philosophy is make friends with the local biology. Build up your immune system. After visiting various exotic locales courtesy of the green machine, I came to the realization you are going to be host to every local common germ within the first month. Your immune system should protect against most and overcome the rest with minimal effects. Avoiding germs is self defeating except in the most extreme cases I.e.

We use a practice whereby one person (usually Household 6) stays as the "clean" person, pushing the cart as sole duty. I will retrieve and handle all of the stuff, and process through payment, loading and unloading. We both use the wipes upon entering the vehicle, and finish by wiping what we have touched upon entering the vehicle. After unloading at home, I will wipe all grocery cans, jars, boxes, containers with wipes; think of how they got to where they are in your residence. (Think of what the checker at the store touches.)<br />Fueling vehicles is done with gloves, and of course obligatory hand cleansing afterwards. <br /><br />We use a similar regimen for everything else that we do external to our residence. (Nothing below the elbow is allowed to touch anything above the neck.) If we hear or see someone coughing or sneezing, we instantly turn and avoid. <br /><br />We act as if there is a dangerous communicable illness prevalent in the community. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-10579962841466650312018-11-28T11:14:14.454-08:002018-11-28T11:14:14.454-08:00The UK McD = Africans + Dolites + Muslums Hell th...The UK McD = Africans + Dolites + Muslums Hell the Muzzies wipe their ass with the hand they use to order.
