Eh, if I told you how careless I've been about this in the past, you might faint. I do wash my hands more, now, and maybe that helps. I stopped carrying anti-bacterial stuff in my purse and I no longer use anti-bacterial soap at home. Just regular soap and water for me. I mean, I don't dig into the garbage aand smear it on me, but I also don't wear rubber gloves to take out the trash, as one of my friends does.
