Dr. Germ..

[kellybean]

Hey guys, as I was running out the door this morning, I happend to see this Dr.Germ guy on CNN. They were doing a story about how so many people get sick at this time of year. I really wish I could have seen the whole thing. But anyway, this is what I got:


For those who work in an office, the germ count in the office itself ex. computers, phones, desks was 3000 to 4000. The germ count in the bathroom of the office, was 49!!!!! The bathroom is cleaner than the office!!!!


Sponges at home harbour the most bacteria that will make you sick.


Antibacterial soaps are really no better than regular soap. They say that by using antib. soaps, that one day it may breed super germs that will not be able to be killed by antibiotics.


So if you get a chance, keep an eye on CNN and hopefully they will re broadcast this report. Actually, I am going to try to google this right now.


Here's a link to Dr.Germ if interested

You know, I'm such an idiot - I wash the S*** out of my hands, but I sit down
at the computer after my daughter and 10 of her friends have been on it and
don't disinfect the mouse or anything. Duh.
