so ive noticed that there is this fad of sanitizing EVERYTHING. hand sanitizer, air sanitizer, surface sanitizer.....

sometimes i just want to smack people and say "you realize that modern humans have been around for about 200,000 years without hand sanitizer and weve survived?" Also, we have natural bacteria on our bodies that keep out bad bacteria. When you use hand sanitizer, it not only kills the bad bacteria but the good bacteria too. So if you use it a lot, you actually reduce your own defenses. Same thing goes with air sanitizers.

when did people get so nervous? I hate those commercials that show the viruses on phones saying "your loved one could be carrying up to a million viruses." yeah... we also have e. coli in our stomachs at all hours of the day. were supposed to. i just wish people would stop being so paranoid. not wiping down the cart at kroger's isnt going to kill you!

sorry... that was it.

p.s. i voted today for the first time! yay! (last election i was 17)
