...used to live with a roommate who was very germophobic, almost to OCD stage, but she did have a point about some things. I probably was a 1-2 before. After working in a hospital, I've become more aware of the benefits of thorough handwashing before preparing food, before eating, after toileting, etc. Reminder notes everywhere! (Side note: I grew up on a farm and drank unpasteured milk, ate home-raised honey that was only strained, both of which my daughter thinks are unsanitary; ate lots of fruit right off the tree and never washed, but none of us were ever sick from eating these. I think my parents and grandparents were scrupulously clean in preparing dairy products before they went into the refrigerator.) |
