Gippy Tummy

[frequent]

One thing I've learned from traveling over the years is to pay more attention to my hands, with respect to getting sick.In a hot and humid environment like Thailand, I am forever wiping sweat from my eyes, my nose and mouth and even my ears...when a big drop rolls into the ear canal. I'm using handrails, handles in the BTS / MRT, door handles, dirty baht...so many surfaces shared by other folks who may or may not wash their hands. Using a hand sanitizer and frequently washing the hands thoroughly with soap has worked well in Thailand, other tropical countries and here through flu season, if that helps any.

Modern medicine points to the overly hygenic, especially parents, as being the major cause of afflictions such as asthma and their increasing prevalence. The only time I ever wash my hands after urinating is when I'm using a public lavatory and there are guys around cruising. Washing my hands merely helps to divert attention or fill in time, but it has nothing to do with hygiene. In saunas, beats and other places where casual and anonymous sex takes place - I'm thinking a447's favourite place, the Golden Cock for example - no-one washes their cock let alone their hands between bouts of activity. After have a shit - certainly. Otherwise - nah
