think that keeping your mouth clean really helps, too.
    If I go into a place ( or piano ) that's really
filthy---so filthy that I can taste it in my mouth- I
realize that some airborne cooties are reproducing
there, eating whatever food particles are in my mouth.
If I let them, a "film" quickly grows on the teeth
that one can feel, as bacteria can reproduce 1,000,000
fold in five minutews (so I've heard). I believe that
by brushing, flossing and rinsing with a good 
mouthwash ( repeatedly if necessary) one can stop this
enlarged colony before it travels down the throat, to
the lungs, and into the nasal cavity. I tried ignoring
this regimen just once last year,after getting a good
"Whiff of Hippie", and was ragingly ill for 3 weeks!
It started with a sore throat and was soon in my head,
chest, etc.. NEVER AGAIN!
