Coopchick, when I am at school, I never touch my face. Before lunch, I wash my hands well, turning off the faucet with a paper towel. My wrist gets the light switch, and a left pinky is good for opening the lever-style teacher's room door. Still, there is always the child who coughs or sneezes directly in your face whe you are working with them.
I hear ya Bucka! I was a school secretary for 11 years for HS & MS. I was constantly telling kids to cover their mouths when they cough and sanitizing the student phone in the office. Now I work with all adults, 3 of the men are germ-o-phobes. One of them opens the refrigerator door with his foot--he's almost OCD about it. One of the others is sure to tell me when we are running low on hand sanitizer & Clorox wipes!
