Avoid Getting Sick

[Kodiak450]

I have been for the last 8 years avoid touching any public door if it is not a self opening door to a public place. Using a public bathroom is also another challenge. I will use my foot, or leg, to open the door and when finished in the bathroom, use the paper towel to open the door. I will not enter any establishment where there is any types of crowds. Especially with todays H1N1, I won't hand shake anyone bare handed unless ofcoarse I have on gloves.

 

How about everyone else? Do you practice a similar technique daily?

 

I also will not go into any big populated area like NYC. Ever since the 911 and Anthrax incident, never again would I go into NYC. Not that NYC is not safe today and not to discourage people from going there, or relocating elsewhere if you reside there, I just feel that in todays world, it is too much of a ticking time bomb. I do commend the NYPD and all the others who keep it safe today.

 

They had on the news over the weekend, that some churches are doing the same stuff i practice and encourage people not to shake hands with others, so that germs can't be spread. I have not gotten sick from any flu since practicing this technique.

I licked a public door handle yesterday on a bet... I don't think I qualify.

Just keep your hands off your face when in public areas. dont rub your eyes or your nose without cleaning your hands first.

I, for one, haven't been to NYC since 1983.

 

Seriously though, you'd be better off washing your hands a couple times per day, and not watching TV.

I'm not so sure why people are so paranoid about h1n1....... The mortality rate is lower then typical influenza and you dont see people freak out over the normal flu......

Agreed. I try to use the hand sanitizers when I can. Otherwise just go about my business as I would regardless. Would I not visit anywhere for fear of my safety. Not in the USA.

 

I'm gonna die someday. Might as do some stupid shit on a dare, visit everywhere I can, and enjoy it all without worring about a cold or anything happening. Too much other shit to worry about besides getting sick.

 

Like coupes in parking lots - those I will avoid.

Don't pick your nose is #1!

I don't touch anything in public bathrooms, except myself

 

And at the first sign of a cold or flu, use a neti pot to rinse my sinuses, drink 6-8 ounces of whiskey, and go to bed. In the morning, I'm fine, with no sign of sickness. I've been doing this routine as needed for the last decade or so, and have not had a single cold or flu in that time.

I have been living in this plastic bubble since 1986. I'll be damned if I am gonna get sick!!!

I only have sex with barn animals and I tend to stay very free from disease. I think I am on to something.

Hey Dave (OP),

 

Did you wear rubber gloves when you beat the shit out of that guy in the road rage incident last year?

 

Just curious?

Sounds like it. Ever heard of brucellosis?

On the serious side. I use hand sanitizer regularly depending on what I'm handling, not to the point of being obsessive about it. If I'm at a restaurant, I use it after reading the menu. Saw the study that was done where they tested them for germs, they are covered with nasty ones. Wipe down the cart handles at the grocery store. I see plenty of people coughing, sneezing, spitting on them. Usually try to get a cart that's out in the parking lot getting plenty of sun. Those are the two areas I am most wary of.
