Most of my doctors' offices no longer have sinks in the rooms and all have sanitizers. I do use hand sanitizers that I use after contact with others, when coming out of stores, pumping gas etc. and I use it on tables in cafes etc. You would be surprised how filthy those tables are! I know I need to find some other way to clean my hands etc. particularly since I have eczema which cracks my hands in the winter. I can tell you I cannot remember the last time I have had a cold etc. and I think that is because I have become aware of sources of contamination.

But last night I opened a tube of toothpaste last night, and just happened to glance at the active ingredient list on the box. . . . There is triclosan in my toothpaste - YIKES!!!!
