$.79 could save your life.

     You know, now days when you go to the grocery store they have wipes at the door for you to wipe off the handle of your grocery cart.

    But, what about the handle on the cooler when you open it to get a quart of milk or a pint of ice cream or some frozen dinners?

     The same hands that gripped that cart before you probably also gripped those cooler handles.  What about the button on the water cooler or the door handle to the restrooms, ever use those?

     We can’t always wash our hands when we need to or clean surfaces that we know are contaminated.

But, we can carry a little seventy nine cent bottle of hand sanitizer in our pocket.

Just think of the germs and bacteria sitting around in public places waiting for us to come along for transportation.     especially our hands.  A good old vigorous handshake  is the best transportation to a new home that a germ could ask for.

Go to the dollar store and get several little bitty bottles of hand sanitizer, it may save your life and mucho dollars in medical expenses.

    It sounds like a very good idea to me.

    Thank you; I am a healthcare worker and see the results of a lot of the things that we just are not concerned enough about that an crush our hopes and dreams in a heartbeat.

    My Mum points out that MONEY as such needs cleaning too! Interesting.

    LOL. Aye. Good point here. Another helpful tip to prevent getting sick all togeather; to help prevent those germs from even affecting you; cut back on dairy. ;)

    This sounds like a good idea. For example, when you in stores shopping you can’t wait until you get home you have to go to the restroom. Me personally, when I’m finish I wash me hands, dry them off with that brown paper towel. I hold that paper towel in my hands open the bathroom door then I drop it on the floor because you don’t know if everybody wash their hands or not. I know I shouldn’t drop the paper on the floor but I rather be safe the sorry. That’s me.

    Great advice.

    On Troost we just wipe our hands on our pants. Was this one research for your later poem PATHOGEN?
