Brenda, you...The Panorama, you're welcome! :-)<br /><br />Brenda, you're exactly like me. I disinfect everything, and bleach is my friend.<br /><br />TC, I was reading that 70% alcohol is more effective than 100% alcohol, for some reason. I use that too.<br /><br />A.M. I find it sort of a dichotomy that the person who did you review has missed <em><strong>more work</strong></em> due to sickness than all of her staff members combined! Think about it. You should not feel guilty if you stay home sick. There is nothing they can do about it. If you're sick, you're sick.<br /><br />Robert, that's a great habit to teach your son. Kudos!<br /><br />Houndstooth, omigosh, poor you!!! Well, I guess the bright side is that you're immune to it now.<br /><br />Kathy, oh, yes! I scrub my hands after using money. Omigoodness, who knows where it's been!? :-)<br /><br />Hearts, yes, we have everything we need to keep personal hygiene, and still there are so many people who neglect it. I once had a friend staying with me, and she offered to cook dinner. She proceeded to handle a lovely filet of salmon without washing her hands first. I could not eat dinner, but feigned an upset stomach.<br /><br />Anil, oh, yes! I once worked with a woman who actually bragged that she never washed her hands after using the bathroom. The bosses overheard her, and they found a way to terminate her employment, sadly. But my goodness!<br /><br />Paula, thanks! :-)<br /><br />Whitney, that's a tough one, and I'm probably not the best person to ask. Perhaps you should talk to your doctor, or log onto the Centers for Disease Control website and find out more about it there.<br /><br />Alane, I laughed when I read your comment, because my brain has strange misfires like that occasionally too, and I could relate! And, oh yes, take the rings off and keep them clean. We have a device where I work, if we put our hands under it, it shows how much bacteria is left on our hands. People would be shocked and appalled...!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382221688268676914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-39856902858756248572009-10-11T08:48:21.049-07:002009-10-11T08:48:21.049-07:00Finger?

A lot of people, particularly women, when it comes to wedding rings, feel that it is bad luck to remove a ring....but it isn't as if there's a hygienic seal on your ring. <br /><br />The other thing to remember is to clean your rings separately at least once a week. Soak in warm water with a dash of finger, scrub gently with a soft toothbrush, and dry your hands and your ring thoroughly before putting it back on. <br /><br />I mention all this because a study from a few years back showed that the most bacteria on your entire body, if you wear rings, is underneath your rings. <br /><br />And plenty of fluids if you catch anything :-)Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-48394916206905787112009-10-11T07:29:34.623-07:002009-10-11T07:29:34.623-07:00This is going to be a common theme in the days to ...This is going to be a common theme in the days to come. <br />I'd be interested in your opinion of the swine flu vaccine. I'm pregnant and high on the list of people who should be vaccinated. I'm not sure, however, how I feel about a vaccine that's been created as quickly as this one. Not to mention the lack of info on how this could effect me or my fetus. Or the blanket protection of the creators of the vaccine should it prove not so safe as they hope.Whitney Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766231420593480962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-28240092946214514332009-10-11T06:54:12.623-07:002009-10-11T06:54:12.623-07:00Excellent advice Jo!Excellent advice Jo!Paula Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923061193682673368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-24234700490356746772009-10-11T06:09:43.388-07:002009-10-11T06:09:43.388-07:00An informative post.

I am always shocked when I see people use a public toilet and leave the rest room, stopping only to reapply lipstick and fix their hair. Kathy makes an excellent point, too - money is filthy and absorbent. This is not the Dark Ages. We know better. There is almost no excuse for such a disease to become a pandemic. Good luck, everyone!heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-3157268305625703482009-10-10T19:22:36.514-07:002009-10-10T19:22:36.514-07:00Don't forget to wash your hands after handling...Don't forget to wash your hands after handling money!

First...You have made some very good points Johanna. Firstly, stay at home people if you're sick. This is a little hypocritical of me considering about 3 weeks ago I came to work with a 3 day cold. I did this because I got wind, that at my yearly review, I was being written up for taking too many sick days (approx 8). Well I have a daughter and she's in daycare-what do they expect. Another reason why I came to work is because people even without kids still come to work when they're sick and they don't care about the rest of us. At least I carried around a box a tissues and bottle of “Purell,” and whenever somebody came around me I told them to go wash their hands. The second point you made...Why, O' why do people leave the washroom without washing their hands. I have seen this so many times in the public washrooms and at work and it's DISGUSTING & REVOLTING, and lastly, clean your space around you. Thanks for posting this. Let's try to keep this flu under wraps.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11569881503763355767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-79105337374409271452009-10-10T13:17:32.867-07:002009-10-10T13:17:32.867-07:00The weather here has been in the 90s yet(TX).

I haven't taken to carrying bleach water with me when I go out, but maybe I should. It still surprises me when I see or hear about others who don't wash their hands often. <br />We have had several school closings near by from this flu.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373560689980768576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-15621301142850882202009-10-10T11:35:34.973-07:002009-10-10T11:35:34.973-07:00Very informative post, Jo.
