I am always washing my hands, verging on slight OCD at times, especially when l touch toilets, dustbins, handles and plugholes!

No, couldn't have eaten it in those circumstances.If I were really desperate, though, I might have been able to mince and fry it to within an inch of its life and add it to a stir fry.
The heat would have killed off any bacteria.
I would have had to be desperate, though.
It's just the thought of it.
A few fruit fly type things I could cope with, but not a wacking great bluebottle cooped up with the meat for ages. Urgh.
Dogs and cats are weird, aren't they? Licking their own bums and the like, and not getting ill.
I know we worm them regularly, but even so! Why don't they get e.coli etc.?

The other day I took an open cream caramel dessert into the living room to eat while watching the TV, along with a cup of tea. Left both on the side while I visited the loo.
Came back in, settled down, ate the cream caramel, and only then was aware of a whopping fly flying drunkenly around the room.
There's no way it wouldn't have homed in on the cream caramel while I was out of the room. Too late, as I had eaten it. Urgh.
Am still here, though.
Oh! Actually, I did have diarrhoea yesterday,
Maybe that was why?
There was no reason why I should have had it! Remembering the fly, though, I wonder?
