Tinkerbelle 5 #1 February 22, 2004 With all the hello kissing on the DZ, isn't anyone afraid of catching herpes symplex cold sores? You know you can catch that quite easily even if the infected person does not have visible sores at the time, especially if your lips are cracked from the wind and the sun.

Tinkerbelle 5 #7 February 22, 2004 No quite the contrary, I'm the one who has a hard time keeping the girls off of him! He does oblige me whenever I am around, but I fear those times when I am not. I turned germaphobe as an excuse for having dropped out of Med. school. Also I took way too much MicroBiology! I find if you avoid touching door knobs and public pens with your bare hands, you don't get sick that often. I just use the bottom of my slirt or shirt instead, works great! I used to get sick all the time, now I never do. I'd like to keep it that way. Also, so many people having cold sores is why I am so careful. I don't want them!

Tinkerbelle 5 #8 February 22, 2004 I caught Hell from the moderator for posting something in the wrong place once and wanted to move it before I got scolded. Then I put it in the Woman's forum 'cause I thought they might be more sensitive 'cause they like talking about their appearance, but it disappeared from there! Just trying to play by the rules, something I was never very good at! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pccoder 0 #9 February 22, 2004 AFter touching these public items it would be a good idea to wash hands before they get near your face. That would probably help more and be less of a burden to your clothing. PcCoder.net Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerbelle 5 #10 February 22, 2004 Yup, do that too, but not obsessively. I carry antibacterial stuff with me to clean my hands. In Hawaii was with a guy at an event who had to shake everyone's hand. I warned him about it, but he ignored me. Next weekend he had to miss his spear fishing contest which he had always won for years 'cause he was sick. After that he got scared, knew I had something there, and carried a bottle of alcohol with him. Smart man, he learned the hard way, but he learned! My SOs have always been respectful like that and have learned! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #12 February 23, 2004 I would bet I'm a bit older than you, Tink, and I don't worry obsessively or use my clothing to open doors. I pee in public potties, I kiss my friends when I see them. I've done the shake hands thing, and I've even been bowling in bowling allies with rental bowling balls and rental shoes! I don't have herpes, hepititis, or any other communicable disease. And never had. I've had my share of colds, but then, such is life. I work with the public, and never know who or what I am dealing with. It's all right, I don't get sick... So do you have a supressed immune system, or is mine just really, really strong?

SkydiveNFlorida 0 #17 February 23, 2004 I think you may have ocd or something. Just to compare me to you, I never use my clothing to open doors, I frequently kiss people when I say hello (usually on the cheek mind you), and shake hands with others. I do not run to the bathroom evertime I touch something questionable. I do not carry alcohol. I have not been sick in a very long time. I think if you are healthy, you should be able to fend off most things. If I see someone who is obviously sick, I try to keep distance. That is the only precaution I would say I take. I would consider myself more healthy than most people (though that doesn't really say too much:) ) Angela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerbelle 5 #18 February 24, 2004 Yeah, I've probably got OCD, DOC, & COD too, but I can't remember 'cause of my ADD... And occasionally I even get PSM, SPM, & MPS,... no wait, that's a girl's school I went to! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeemax 0 #19 February 24, 2004 i'm confused why this is posted twice? Anyhew, a few germs in your life are healthy. If you block out everything and go super hygenic your body cant build up immunities, therefore you get sicker.Phoenix Fly - High performance wingsuits for skydiving and BASE Performance Designs - Simply brilliant canopies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerbelle 5 #20 February 24, 2004 I will explain this just one more time, so everyone pay attention... It started off on General skydiving, but since one other of my posts was moved from there, and I quickly recognized that that might not be the place for it, I figured I would just move it to the more applicable forum before I was asked to, Just trying to be polite, and yet got so much shit for it!
