What..You find simple hygiene crazy?

THE
HYGIENE HYPOTHESIS
(just gonna leave this here for all you germaphobes)

And see I'm the poster girl for the argument against that argument. I was taught to wash my hands before a meal. I've always done that. But I grew up on the farm hugging piglets, catching snakes, breaking chicken legs (don't judge me ) with dogs and kittens and turkeys and bunnies. With my hands in wild bird nests etc. You name it I was doing it. Yet I have fairly terrible allergies. To start asking backwards is to find that allergies run way back. People just didn't go to the doctor.

Personally I believe they aren't considering that it's more based on genetics and people just didn't go to the doctor like they do now. They see an increase, sure...but of course it increases every time there's a new generation of people.

My great grandmother on my grandfather's side had allergies. So does my grandmother on the other side. All of the offspring have allergies. That increased from 2 to 7. Their kids have it and my son has exactly what I have so add 5 on to that number. So two people created 12 people with allergies.

I don't know about the cousins offspring. We aren't that close.
(That's kinda ok with me anyway)

Soap & water and a fingernail brush if you have been scratching you bottom end.. Paper towel dry.. dish rags are germ hotels.

As are cloth towels in a bathroom! Better to sneak some antibacterial gel on your hands than use most peoples bathroom towels..Luckily for me I normally have some gel with me.....

I am saying you'd have an apoplexy from stress about our hygiene procedures or lack thereof. I can honestly say wearing gloves whilst emptying the dishwasher never crossed my mind.

I use washed vinyl gloves (as in I wash my hands after putting them on) to deal with raw meats always. That's both to protect the skin breaks in my hands and the other people, although I clean my nails and almost scrub like a surgeon prior to wearing the gloves. Just in case.

What about hand washing? Do you two change the water after every dish?

Is that at Ralohie or me?

Oh no...you gotta wash those things with soap. Just air dry.

If I'm having visitors, you get your own towel. You don't want to use ours. Each of us have our own towels; hand towels, face cloths, body towels etc. Color coded.

When I was using cloths and towels. They're changed every day if not sooner...depending how much they did.

on the farm hugging piglets,

You can wash your hands all day long and that pig smell is there. Trans-dermal. When we castrate testicles, latex gloves are too slippery. Dangerous pinching out testicles and slicing on a wiggling piggy. Iodine stains and duh poo stinch/body oils.. As soon as you compress the testis and cross his legs, the soft chocolate ice cream machine turns on.
WAY CLEANER THAN THE HANDLE ON A SUPERMARKET BUGGIE! lol or the toilet seat @ Walmart

I worked in a 650 all-in-one pig barn for 5 years. My husband was never happier!

You can castrate with latex...I've done hundreds! (ok, thousands) Although I would use vinyl now. I prefer the feel. Or even nitrile. They're ok too.
I never had poo de doo. Thankfully. I disinfect that handle with the wipes. I have wipes for my hands in every vehicle to wipe my hands before I put gunk on he leather sterring wheel. I don't want to have to clean that. SO much easier to just wipe your hands.
I don't use a toilet when I'm away. My body just says no.

We have kitchen cloth towels.. But for hand drying.. paper.
