I agree with Patch, oddly enough. :lol:
However with the Flu 'bug' being around and many deaths from it we should all just think basic hygiene. I too never 'mollycoddled' my kids and let them out to play and get dirty.....build up their immunity. They are healthier for it. I too don't believe in washing my hands after every contact with a stranger or machine as here.
It was your comment about Germs being laughable I don't agree with. I was aged 9 yrs when I caught Asian Flu......a germ, a Virus......I ended up in Hospital and it nearly killed me ! How did I catch it ?
In the local News the other day was the story of a 15 yr old dying from Tuberculosis......something we all thought was a thing of the past ? Some people in the community where she lived think nothing of spitting in the street, is that where the TB bug came from ?
Some basic hygiene rules help us all and it pays to be more vigilant nowadays with all the 'superbugs' surviving in even the cleanest of homes and Hospitals.
Scaremongering........No, just basic common sense.
