germs

The 13 dirtiest everyday items in Texas homes carry germs everywhere, even in spots assumed to be clean.

Have you found yourself being over OCD? I mean making sure not to get any germs. Are you even finding yourself over thinking it all. I know I have. I am thinking a lot more about it. I have always been a massive hand washer but it goes beyond that.

We have luckily started getting really good and washing our hands. They can be full of so many germs, viruses and gross things that can make us sick. We know warm water and soap is the best defense. Oh and yes we need to scrub for at least twenty seconds. Don't forget it is also important to dry our hands well too

I remember the good ol' days when people made fun of me for using a paper towel to open the door from the restroom. Now it is highly encouraged that you do not touch the door handles at all.

I saw this story last week and so it started a discussion between me and my daughter. I asked her how she puts silverware in the dishwasher. She said handle down. I asked her why? She didn't really have a reason. It's just how she did it.

You spend a lot of time in your car. You travel to work and jam out with the radio blasting. You may even take a road trip in it.

Tamme's Tender Touch Day Care was forced to close this Thursday and Friday to prevent the spread of any more germs.

We tend to go out to eat a lot here in Amarillo. You can drive up I-40 and see full parking lots at every restaurant.

It is getting to that most wonderful time of year and with that may come a lot of travel. You may even take a plane somewhere.

Those reusable water bottles you use on the daily is a cesspool of germs.

Are you the type of person to empty out your fries on a tray and eat them at a fast food place?  You may not want to do that.

When you fly do you ask for a blanket or a pillow?  Do you use the restroom on the plane?  Do you read the SkyMall?  This might make you think twice or at least pack a bottle of hand sanitizer (1 0z or less of course) in your carry-on.
