And now the kids are drinking hand sanitizer because it is higher in alcohol than any of the alcoholic drinks available. This is really scary!!!

Exactly. I have immunities built up, I don't sweat things like this. I don't over-use sanitizers either.
If I worried about every little thing that I touched that was touched by others (like money for instance), I'd go the rest of the way insane. lol

The one that bothers me is when people put their handbags on top of tables that they are going to eat at. This is usually after they have put them in the trolleys, on the floors of public toilets and restaurants,cars, buses etc... other than that, we can all tolerate a certain amount of crud to build up the immune system.

I have never worried about such. I'm healthy & the 2 kids I raised are healthy. I think it is being over-thought too. Our bodies are built so as to fight against germs. If you do stop & think about all the things during the day that we touch, but we survive. My DD has a thing about public restrooms but when you have to go, you have to go & you can always wash your hands & body...... All this hand sanitizers.. they are so drying on your skin, they contain so much alcohol.

Oh, yeah. That's why even WalMart has those saniwipes at the front door..so you can wipe the handle. We also carry hand sanitizer to church where they insist on shaking hands with everyone in sight. One guy regularly picks his nose..so the hand sanitizer comes out right after the hand business. I may be paranoid, but haven't had a cold in a long time.

I always use the top basket for my purse and also strap it in by the safety straps used to hold the kids in place! That prevents any snatch and grap thief!

Well I made plenty of mud pies in my day but I didn't intentionally eat any dirt!! I have heard it said, You have to eat a peck of dirt before you die.

It prevents them from stealing the bag, but not the contents. My friend had both her wallet and her checkbook taken while her purse was safely secured. The perps eventually got into her savings account, too.

the people at Walmart always have wipes available and I have seen the lady go thru and run a wipe on the handles...Do other stores do this???

Ewwwwww! I never thought of that either. I will start wiping them down now.
