happydog when I first moved to the
Los Angeles area in 1999 from Oregon, for about the first three months I kept catching all kinds of stuff. (flu, colds, just feeling ill) My brother said, "Do you wash your hands every time after you leave the house and come back?" I said "No" He said "Thats why you're sick all the time." I then started to wash my hands every time I came home after leaving the house and boy oh boy did that make a difference.
I even carry hand sanitary wash in a bottle when I go to the Dr.s now.
When I'm in a public bathroom I even take a paper towel to shut the water off instead of touching the faucet. I open the door with my shoulder. I don't like touching anything in public. Heck I think there are like 14 mill. people here in Los Angeles county? Eye yie yie. lol
I heard about a staff infection that was out there but I didn't know much about it until now.
