I need things reinforced with me. ;) It's bemusing for me to read the comments on here since I'm the biggest non-germaphobe there is. Yes, I do wash my hands after using the restroom, but no I won't use a paper towel to open the door to leave. I use common sense: if I'm making food for you I would naturally wash my hands, it's the smart thing to do, but I'm not an obsessive hand sanitizer user. Hand sanitizers get over-used and they actually contribute to the spread of flus, colds, and other infections since the body doesn't have a chance to develop immunity to viruses if it has no contact with them. People watch too many movies about apocalyptic bugs trying to destroy the human race so they end up viewing simple viruses as evil conscious entities that must be annihilated as enemies instead of simple organisms that must be controlled by scientific study and good medicine and basic sanitation. People slather on the sanitizing goo then wonder why the sicknesses they get are so much stronger and last longer. I saw a documentary once where a study had determined that the healthiest children in the United States were kids on farms. They had contact in their chores with livestock and thus more interactions with germs. It allowed their bodies to develop immunities and they grew up stronger and more resistant. But enough of that, I've gone on too long... :D
