A recent survey in Australia came up with the not so surprising conclusions that kids in households where parents constantly used all manner of detergents and disinfectants were more prone to illnesses than kids from households which were clean but not sanitised. If you live in a cocoon and wash your hands 25 times a day because you think you are going to catch some dreaded bug, then you need to visit your medico or maybe even your phsyc... you have a problem. In the past 23 years I have worked with all manner of keyboards and mice and, dare I say it, even cleaned public toilets and have never had a day off sick ... other than an odd day, usually from self inflicted over indulgence. I dread to think how you would be behaving if you were working at the local tip or similar venue. Keep it up, soon you won't even have any resistance. Do you also wash your hands after each time you open a door in a public building, open a cab door, and the like? Remember not to put your lips to that next beer you suck from a bottle or a can. Who knows where its been. Your comments are spot-on JohnnySacks.
