Germ Ridden Things You Touch Every Day

I think I have become much more aware and uncomfortable about germs than I used to be. I wash my hands a lot, also, and probably use hand sanitizer about 8 or 10 times a day most days.

Public restrooms are the worst, obviously. Sometimes I just have to stand there and figure out how I'm gonna get out of the restroom without touching anything.

I hate it when restaurants and stores have those hand dryers mounted on the wall and no paper towels in sight. I usually grab the door handle with a paper towel to get myself out without having the heebie-jeebies.

Aw and chicken! Cooking chicken at home!!!! I saw a show on tv once that somehow black-lit the germs left behind by raw chicken after a person had washed and put some chicken pieces in a pot to cook. Seems like they sprayed those kitchen surfaces with some kind of chemical that made the bacteria glow. You wouldn't have believed your eyes. The sink and countertop lit up like neon lights. It was well and truly grotesque.

Now I'm just weird about cooking chicken at home, too.

Since reading the first article  I shared as an introduction to this topic
on germs... 

I've become somewhat taken over by same...

in that every day, in fact more than once and sometimes more than thrice... 

I am using clothes  sprayed with  disinfectant to rub down door handles, my staircase banisters 

and kitchen cupboards  and the like, any where I  or others  might touch  going around the house. 

Along with handling bank notes etcetera.. and the resultant contamination  from such hands on
where other hands have been.
that may be considered unhygienic,  such as using the bathroom and not using the likes of  soap
and water after defecating.... 
and other potential germ ridden pursuits. 




 

Public escalators, the hand rail. Public phones. Public restrooms. Nasty.

We have an immune system. I don't worry about germs at all. My biggest concern in my life are my panic attacks. I would rather bath in germs then have a panic attack.
