The best thing you can do for your kids is to get them outside and let them get dirty. Immunity happens with exposure. Do kids still have sand boxes? Greatest creative toy ever…and it gets you dirty and in contact with who knows what germs and viruses. (Not to mention cat poo.) They’re good for you in the long run…..
From satwcomic.com:“On The Faroe Islands it’s a bit of a problem that alcoholics steal hand sanitizer and drink it. They do it because alcohol for drinking is so damn expensive on the islands. How they are not all dead is one of life’s great mysteries.“
Raised in the South, played in muddy ditches, camped near swamps, investigated the city dump (pre-landfill), shared all sorts of toys and treats. Gotta say, it paid off, no serious illnesses and strong immune system. Knock on wood…
And here I just worried about the magazines in a doctor’s office. Now you all have given me soooo much more to worry about. Maybe I will just stay in bed.
You don’t even have to leave your own home before finding something to worry about. Ever think about what the previous thing was your hand was touching before you reached for the flush handle on the toilet?
This is why I carry hand sanitizer in my purse. Between door handles/knobs, elevator buttons, shopping carts, and other things it’s easier to use a small bottle to squirt on my hands every now and then. I’m not even a germaphobe (because sometimes I do actually forget I have it in my purse until long after I get home).

Could have used that at the Drive-In, when I was a teenager.

What about utensils at restaurants. I’m hoping dishwashers don’t cheap out on dish soap and hot water.

You wanna mention the persons in the library who were picking books to read and putting them back while coughing without covering their mouths?
Choose your favorite author and get a free germ collection. What a deal.

With three well-petted, hand-licking dogs in the house, I give better than I get.

Is he calling his customers Squirts? Or is that the the price for kids?

I like what George Carlin had to say on this subject in his special “You are All Diseased”.

people slathering themselves with sanitizer constantly are going to wind up like the martians from War of the Worlds

And how many bacteria are now totally immune to “Sanitizers” due to overuse?

We are all descended from hundreds of generations of people who survived unsanitary conditions.
