wash your hands

The problem with neuroses is that they are not logical.

By the way, how do people like you ever survive being a parent of a toddler

proper diet and watching intakes of **** like alky, smoking, and hF corn syrup sodas, proper exercise and restorative sleep.

How is someone as bitter as you able to function in society?

This is how A2K turns from discussing topics to turning on one another> E-, if you feel that you dont give yourself any additional protection by grabbing door handles in public washrooms, you certainly are entitled to that belief. However, making the obverse statement that all those who dont believe as you are somehow deranged is childish.
Ill continue to sh my hands in a restroom and then using the last towel, I open the door and then, holding the door with the tip of my shoe, I toss the towel into the trash container. Its actually easy and Ive been given that admonition by a physician fried of mine whose an ER chief at A lncaster hospital. His comment is that "it certainly cant hurt and may seriously help in immuno protection" .

Hes more of a fanatic about keeping our immune systems peaked by proper diet and watching intakes of **** like alky, smoking, and hF corn syrup sodas, proper exercise and restorative sleep.

Yeah I once read a report that a test was done on mints that are left in a bowl when you leave restaurants - they found traces of urine on them - I guess the same sort of person that does not wash his hands after urinating, also does not use the spoon that is provided for use of retrieving these mints.

The little obsessive rituals you perform don't even work the way you want them to.

These same people who leave the toilet without washing their hands... well they handle the money you have in your wallet. They press the ATM keys you use at your bank. They touch the chair you touch at a restaurant. They read the magazines you read in waiting rooms. They touch your steering wheel when leave you car with a valet or at the shop.

The world is filled with fecal matter.

I suppose this germaphobic behavior would make a bit of sense if you were consistent. After all, it doesn't make sense if you come out of the bathroom with your non-door-contaminated hands only to pick up one of the sh!t covered pens that are lying around all of our workplaces.

You could put on rubber gloves every time you take out your wallet. You could use disposable little straws to push the ATM buttons. You could insist that no one at your workplace touch your personal keyboard.

But, then there is the fact that those of us who don't obsess over "fecal matter" live perfectly happy, healthy lives.

Oh no... I think I have to wash my eyeballs after reading your post. I don't want to catch that cold you have!

It makes no sense to call your IMMUNITY SYSTEM your "immune system"
as if all of your systems were vulnerable, except that one, which is immune

Both words are correct as adjectives. I dont hear "Immunity system" much though.
It sounds sort of like a legal term doesnt it.

Thomas - how's the employment situation going?

Good idea! I guess that could also double for preparing for my Halloween costume.
Use the entire bottle to bleach the color out my hair and my eyes. Go trick or treating as an albino!

Antibacterial soap for help prevent the flu? Hello! Flus are caused by viruses and viruses aren't destroyed by anti-BACTERIA-ls.

According to the CDC, handwashing is an important part of preventing the flu.

Littlek's point was that antibacterial soap doesn't help against viruses like the ones that give you the flu. Somehow I'm not finding the part in your quote where the CDC recommends antibacterial soap against flues. Could you show this part to me, please?
