when I was up in NYC last month I went to a Starbucks, I went to the bathroom , only to have the smell and residue of PUKE all over. I nearly lost it right there. I didnt drink my Americano.

The public is vile. The last time I went to a Yankee game (most likely, by the way, the last one I'll ever go to in the old Yankee Stadium) this drunk assh*le came all the way up to our section, vomited in the aisle right in front of everyone, and then ran off. Wasn't that considerate of him.

As Bill Hicks once said about people, "We're a virus with shoes."

This bacteria talk reminds me of those people who walk around on the streets and in the subway wearing those surgical masks. I always wonder if they have some kind of immune system disfunction, or if they are really just that paranoid. I don't care, myself. I once ate a piece of chicken after it fell off my plate and onto the sidewalk at an outdoor cafe. I imagine the mask-people would just about have a seizure if they saw that.



So...for we asthmatics...do masks do any good...and which ones?


I walk through lots of petrol and diesel fumes and stuff, and my asthma has flared up. Would there be a mask which might help? If I had the guts to wear it?


The sponge? I rinse the smegger and put it somewhere....

surgical masks dont really help except for removing the really big chunks from your incoming air. If you have a reaction to chem aerosols, a combined GAC canister mask is what you need. A course you will really look strange . How about we just work on your immune system?

I only play a allergist on telly, Im really not one. Theres a bazillion physicians on the line here arent there?

My guess is that diest rich in whatever one eats to jolt their immune systems would work splendidally.
I only know about masks and what theyd cant do. Tnhey are merely a particle filter not a chemical filter.

sponges are an evolution lab. The anti bacterials will kill 99.9999% of bacteria.That usually leaves a large enough amount to begin breeding with a newly selected for immunity. Given enough generations (at about 16 or so minutes apart) wed be knee deep in the little bastards in leass than a day.

Yup us too, usually hang it over the faucet. If its not there its under the sink in the jar with the plug, the scourer pad, the hard brush and whatever that scum is in the bottom.

Me either, as I said before.

I'd be interested in whether they are bacteriostatic or bacteriocidal. Well, not very interested, just a smidge. Full on bacteriocides used to be few, such as phenol and bleach, and I'd have to review about bleach. In either case I don't like them for the reason Farmer stated so concisely.
