The ignorance of the general public about how such things contributing to the ever increasing degree of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is tragic.

But despite that, the last time I was sick enough that I had to miss work/school was years ago. I attribute this to the fact that I make a large effort to wash my hands before every meal, every time after I use the washroom and I try to avoid rubbing my eyes if I know my hands are dirty.

I occasionaly see someone using a hankie or something to avoid touching the subway pole, and I do think they’re being paranoid. (Surgical masks also crack me up considering they do NOTHING to stop people from breathing in germs.)
