When you think about it, most of the orifices in our body are in the head, and only two in the groin area for men and three for women. Our hands are everywhere picking up germs and every time we touch our head with them we run the risk of infection. Hand washing is good, but when you turn on the faucet you do it with dirty fingers and after you wash your hands you again touch that dirty faucet. If survival depended on washing hands, we would not be here since the cave man probably never washed his hands. It's a good habit, but does not necessarily guarantee our safety.My doctor insists on it. But my arm was sore for months after I got a shot one year so I refused. I now get it as a nasal spray.
It's important to wash your hands often.
That's how we transfer virus by touching our face.
Just curious, since you get your flu med with a nasal spray, aren't you afraid it will eventually ruin the lining of your nose? Have you noticed a change in your smelling ability?
