After the swine flu scare I carry some alcohol jell in the car and my handbag and put it on after going to the supermarket etc just as a precaution.

I must be another unhygenic slob.Germs, like death is part of living.
If you are going to get something nasty I believe that you will get it regardless of how much hygene you have.
It was Howard Hughes I think, who used to go to great lengths about hygene, just like all of us will end up, he died.

I call myself a slob (but nobody else can). Basic hygiene and informed awareness of risk is important, as well as knowledgeable protection against things which may harm us. As AB says dirt and germs are part of life and we are usually able to cope with them. We must be exposed to things to aquire our own immunity.
I used to be concerned about germs and sterilizing things when my babies started to crawl, but my mother-in-law said that they would eat more than a pinch of dirt before they died.

Aerolo, I would never dream of calling you names or anyone else come to that.Question? When we go to wash the germs off our hands and turn on the tap some germs must be transfered onto the tap, so, when we have washed our hands and go to turn the tap off do we get the germs back again?

Answer - Could well be so AB and maybe someone else's germs as well. Those 'lil germs are everywhere, on just about everything we touch
. But routine cleansing - soap, water and a good scrub is an excellent defense. I don't think folks need to be too concerned in a normal situation. Regards. Someone once told me the number of spiders we can swallow when we sleep, but I've forgotten -
