You read my mind, Oak. I just started searching for a new yoga mat. I don't sweat that much at yoga, compared to cycling, but the one I have is bright blue and the carrier strap is cheap. The strap for the other one is already broken. Plus, despite cleaning, it still smells. I will consider that one.
The money I spent to go back to my club was validated when I saw an employee cleaning the public stretching area mats twice, during the time I was in that area. Also, they clean the locker room (showers, too) every hour. And, it was the same employee that was there when I joined in 1998.
Emily, I didn't think you were accusing. I pretty much thought allergic conjunctivitis is not contagious. The NP did not give me any dire warnings about that. Had a bad experience with DS#1, when he turned up having conjunctivitis on the day he was scheduled for an allergy consult, shortly after we moved here. DH took him and said the doctor was a prissy little idiot who totally freaked out over the conjunctivitis! I never forgot that. It took weeks to get that appointment...
