Germs

I was reading an article yesterday in a popular woman's print magazine about germs and where they are commonly found ... The top three places where we can pick up germs are ...
- atm's or credit card machines
- grocery cart handles
- door handles of public bathrooms

After reading the article, I realized that these "germ hotspots" were things that I touch everyday - YUCK! Just made me think - that I should really be careful. I wash my hands constantly (almost like I have a compulsive behavior) - but, I just can't help it - I hate getting sick and I can't afford to get my little ones sick too. I always have baby wipes in my purse even if my kids are bigger - I also carry around hand sanitizer - but, it makes me wonder .... when you use hand sanitizer, what happens to the germs, do they just die in your hand? Hmmm ...
