“Ralphing, the runs and the unpleasant sensation of having been poisoned by Satan?”
No Purell for me today thank you very much.

No, but seriously, if you’re out in a good clean place with good clean dirt, why not have a nibble? I’m talking forest soil here, not urban grime.

Or if you’re growing your own organic veggies in healthy, living soil, don’t wash them so thoroughly…leave some traces of soil and revel in the probiotics!

But this is clean soil we’re talking about…and this thread is about icky germs, totally different thing. I still say, wash wash wash those hands, but Purell and other antibacterial ilk are simply breeding super-bugs… therefore, keep your immune system strong with healthy, immune boosting foods and coast right through cold/flu season with nary a sniffle.

I’ll keep you updated if I catch anything or not. 🙂

But please people, don’t freak out, a little bit of germiness is good for you. A homeopathic dose of germs here and there will keep your immune system in action.

My credo: Eat some good dirt. Don’t lick the doorknobs. 🙂

I love the L’Occitane soaps, use them in the shower. They are excellent. I will try the other products. It’s hard not to touch stuff in public. Buses kill me that way.

At home I love http://www.beekman1802.com‘s soaps. Brent and Josh are making some excellent products with old world sensibilities. Tell Brent I sent you. And I do my best to keep my hands from touching commonly touched things in public.

There are now both a soap (well more of a chemical based liquid for hand washing – I bring my own bar and linen towel) and Purell dispenser in the bathroom. Some people use both. I’d like to rip them all off the walls.
