Do you get sick a lot for unexplained reasons?

Asked by Val123 (12734points) February 15th, 2010

I just don’t get all the opening of bathroom doors with a towel thing and carrying around small bottles of hand sanitizer. I mean, we come in contact with more stuff, unawares, and ingest more things unawares that would horrify us if we knew it was happening…but as it is, we don’t know, so it doesn’t bother us. I’ve just never heard of anyone getting inexplicably sick. Got the flu? Ever communicable illness I’ve ever had,such as a cold or a flu, can be traced directly back to a family member or friend or co-worker who had it, not to some random trip to a public bathroom.

I’m very, very rarely sick, and I don’t practice any more than basic, common-sense cleanliness. I keep my bathroom and kitchen counters wiped down, keep the house reasonably clean, and wash my hands every so often, especially if I’m getting ready to handle food.

I just believe that this recent phenomenon of trying to make our worlds operating-room sterile is a direct response to the recent (in the last two years) advertising blitz by the companies that make and sell cleaning products. It’s a money making marketing ploy….and it’s working.
