I've noticed lately that I am more aware of "germy" situations. I try not to be over obvious about it but I do have a few "Howie Mandel" books on our bookshelf. I didn't used to be this way, didn't used to think about stuff like:
1/ jacuzzi's (human stews)....
I know they clean them regulary where we live. Not really a need to go into further explanation. One can already think about it, or not:)
2/ money...who knows who's gambled with this stuff, sneezed in there hand, then handed the cashier a benjamin. They've been all over the world, markets, circuses and Kohl's. I may consider laying my money out in the sun to sterilize it. This may take a while though, as I'd have to do both sides. I guess I could throw it in our High Density Washer, would this be considered money laundering?
3/ the armrests at the movie theater
I haven't yet, but I'm going to bring two antibacterial wipes in a ziploc for them. Then I'll wait for them to dry before putting my clean forearms down for the movie. Hmmm? What about the seat? Would it be tacky just to bring a beach towel and place it over the chair? Sort of what you do at a picnic with a picnic blanket? This could get crazy.
4/ shopping cart handles (now they have wipes for those) You wipe it, then it's wet so you put your hands on the now wet and clean (or is it?) handle. I'm thinking the inside of the cart needs to be cleaned too. Maybe a shopping cart "huggie" like they do for babies in high chairs or in the front of the basket.
5/ our dinner tv trays (those are our germs!!!!)
6/ public door handles Let's just say I can now open the door with my elbows. Any sort of handle, anywhere. This is also a time when one really appreciates chivalry. Why thank you hubby. Little does he know I just didn't want to get my elbows dirty.
