In addition to the flu shot, mandatory if you work in school environments IMHO, hand sanitizer both in my toolbag and in the car. I don't use "counter" pens, I pull out my own sign or write out what needs to be signed/written and replace it in my pocket. A recent study found the handles on shopping carts have more bacterial germs than a public toilet! Those same people use those pens! They also use the keypads for the debit cards so hand sanitizer after shopping is a must, especially when you think about the paper money. I believe you can carry this way to far, that a certain amount of germs and bacteria are good for your system to "keep your defenses up". All of this anti-bacterial soap, etc. is what is diluting our natural immunities to normal everday things but that is for another forum. Mike -- I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
