    Geez anybody remember that old truck stop in Tracy,CA. Had outdoor showers with concrete floors, rusty old iron floor drains? When I was pulling a flatbed I took a shower after every tarp job, and on average everyday, but the facilities were nothing like they are today!
    And, uh they didn’t have body wash in the showers. ;)

    In a college biology class, I learned that "anti-bacterial" soap is actually worse than regular soap. It's basically an application if the theory of evolution. The soap may kill 99% of bacteria, but that simply leaves room for the strongest 1% to multiply in their place.

    Do you know if you killed all the bacteria on and in your body you'd die in seconds.

    I did.
    I eat yogurt every morning to help my digestive system maintain it's beneficial bacteria...in fact, I read a story some months ago that the over perscribing of antibiotic drugs has caused major digestive bacteria deficiencies. And there is such an increase in fecal transplants there is a shortage in acceptable donors to replentish these bacteria in people being affected. Hard to believe you can be paid to poop...

    idk, but seems to me more and more each year, more and more people keep getting sick...

    I haven't had a flu shot in years, and just like not getting a flu shot do I use hand sanitizers, no, or would I.

    It's been years since I have ever been sick, whether it be a cold, etc....

    why do you think that there are super bugs, or super flu's.....this year again flu shots were given out and in the news well looks like the shots were not all that effective.

    the reason not effective is because like anything else if you take small quantities time and time again of something, eventually one builds and immunity to it...no different with insects, or with germs. that is part of the reason why the flu vaccines need to be revamped year after year....

    but what do I know.... either use your immune system or lose it....
