When we take care of our bodies, we are fine.  That means a shower or bath where we work at washing all over, including our private parts.  Clean body.\n\nUse a clean towel too when drying off.\n\nAlso, be sure to change to clean clothes, underwear included.  That makes the difference.  Clean clothes.

I think that is true..it is cleaner to eat off your bathroom floor than your kitchen...I dont see how this is hard to beleive...a bathroom is clean and is full of cleaning material, think about it shampoo, soap. What do you do in a bathroom...get clean, brush teeth. A kitchen is full of rotting food crumbs, and disgusting remnants of meat juices, fungus and bacteria.

think about how many people use a restroom everyday, then think about how many wash their hand properly, [like none, you have to wash ur hands for at least a minute] so imagine how bacterial feces and vaginal blood and all that. i don't even want to think about it. i just bring hand sanitizer everywhere.

Not yet.\n\n\nI carry sanitizing wipes with me to use when I use a buggy in a store and use one again after leaving. You touch a lot of things when you shop.\n\nI wash my hands often and try to stay away from crowds of people.\n\nNot a fetish at all.\n\nMy mother was diagnosed three years ago with a disease of her blood called TTP. You can look it up just by typing in TTP. Doctors said chances were she caught it by dirty buggies in stores. Learned my lesson then. \n\nIt is not just the flu, it is any disease that is transmitted by others touching things. \n\nYou never know what people around you have or have had.

actually i just watched a thing on t.v. about germs. they said bathrooms are okay and that although they are dirty, as long as you are not licking your hands afterward, you have nothing to worry about really.  their advice was:  always wear shoes,  go in the very first stall (less people use ones closer to the doors),  unless you can visibly SEE something gross on the toilet seat -it is OK to sit on it, even without a seat cover,  and wash your hands with soap for minimum of 20 seconds (sing the ABC's in your head while washing to do it for the right amount of time).  The germ people actually said that shopping carts from grocery stores fail more health/hygeine inspections than most public bathrooms!!! But no one thinks twice about touching a shopping cart handle.  They tested one and found all sorts of viruses and bacteria including poo. So never, never take free food samples from the grocery store without sanitizing, or your likely to get sick from it. \n\n  \nI don't mind public bathrooms unless they are really, really gross. You always hear horror stories about people who contract diseases from public bathrooms, but I think they are few and far between. I've never known (or met anyone who has known) anyone who has gotten medical problems from a public bathroom....\nIn Switzerland (i think) an artist created a fully functional bathroom on a street corner. it's walls are two-way mirrors. So people on the street just see a mirror, but from the inside you can see everything outside. So you're basically doing your business in front of everyone, but they can't see you.  Apparently no one uses it because it's so strange and they get anxiety about it. Talk about public bathrooms.... haha.

Yup -- whatever mess you make or item you break is your responsibility to clean up/replace, etc.

it depends do you like to feel clean to the point that you spend an hour and a half washing your hands after you touch that youve decided is infected because your sure that theres germs that WILL kill you and the ones you love on it?   a little of this is ok, but its a problem when it runs your life

Yes, many of these mouth washes actually have somewhat dangerous ingredients and I always rinse afterwards. The fresh feeling doesn't go away at all and it's better than having to swallow the mouthwash which could corrode your esophagus and stomach lining with its powerful antibacterial ingredients. Always rinse!\n*Except for the fluoride type of mouthwashes, but those don't sting...

It would be unsanitary not to. I do every time after I use the bathroom. But I do know what you mean. I have seen a lot of people who don't. The ones you immediately want to watch out for are co-workers-don't eat what they brought to a pot luck...gross! Even family members, I don't have that problem with family, but watch out eating what they cooked. People can be just sick....

it's easy to get physically clean on the outside. To get physically clean on the inside I guess we can take an anti-biotic, like zithromax. \n\nif one doesn't clean the outside the body starts to smell bad, and can become unhealthy.\n\nWithout the anti-biotic, the body has no defense to harmful bacteria.\n\nhow does one get spiritually clean on the inside....one goes to church.\n\nWithout church, the body is open to harmful things in life and needs a church to help with making the right decision.\n\nlet a church be a place of worship (and that's it).

what do you exactly by 'MENTAL HYGIENE" ?
448367
Keep the chlorine level at 1.5 ppm and shock regularly and it is not a problem. It is, however, not socially acceptable. But no one is going to get a disease from it-- IF the chemicals are maintained properly. We "carry" a lot of foreign matter into a pool when we go in. Saliva, dead skin, hair, dandruff, etc., etc. That's why pool sanitizers are necessary! Plus, a pool being an open vessel, is constantly bombarded with air borne contamination. Rain water does infinately more damage to a pool than a little urine.

Infection is always a risk. I've had mine done for years and have never had a prob. Go to a clean reputable place and ask if they disinfect their tools. (I know you don't want to seem like a snob asking this, but your health is more important)

Yes, because I have pets and their health is valuable to me, along with my own health and safety.  Not only that, we need more products that don't hurt the environment.  We don't need to be breathing chemicals in our houses.  I'm a cancer survivor and I'm a firm believer that environmental hazardous products cause about 90% of cancers, whether it be aluminium in deoderant to ammonia in cleaners.  I feel it breaks down the body's natural defenses to illness.

Keep an open mind and keep your parts clean..

Hand Sanitizers and anti-bacterial soaps actually cause more harm than good.  They remove beneficial bacteria along with the bad stuff, they can irritate the skin helping a virus or bacetria to get in, and they cause resistant, stronger bacteria.
