Spreading Germs

Enuf iz enuf — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 04:46:26 GMT

I was watching the show today with Shawn Killinger presenting bareminerals.

During the presentation Shawn started coughing and kept coughing in her hand, then proceeded to touch the products. I hoping she used hand sanitizer between coughs..but if not, her germs were spread around the set, not to mention possible contaminants that were airborne from coughing in her hand instead of in the bend of arm like we to teach children to do. Can someone please remind her how germs spread?

This is not uncommon for this host. It is always her allergies, so she says, but there have been a number of hosts lately who have been sick with whatever end of summer cold is going around everywhere.

You mean not wiping her nose with her hand any more? Allergies make me cough as well but I'm not on camera coping with them. There are ways to help symptoms of seasonal allergies. Some good ones are over the counter.

Noticed many Hosts rubbing their noses, maybe there's dust in the studios . If many go off camera to change clothes , then they can go get atissue & blow their noses.

Jane's been on where she's obviously ill and almost no voice to talk, but that did not stop her in not giving the Reps time to speak.

Most states have laws about what to do with makeup and many products open and used for demos. The loss of a few products to sell more is the cost of doing business.

I have allergies and cough no matter what medication I take for them. I cover my mouth. I always worry about people around me stressing over what they may think is a germy cold. I'm quick to tell people I'm not contagious, that it's just allergies.

Over the years, I have noticed that she sneezes out in the open instead of into her elbow or something. Now I think that it may be because she doesn't want to soil the clothing.

this reminds of watching Wolfgang Puck on HSN, years ago and while he was cooking, he would wipe his nose /face with the same cloth he used to tidy up a plate-----OMG--he is the grossiest and he did it out of habit, I'm sure, in front of the camera all the time----am sure there are so many gross, disgusting things that get done behind the scenes---we will never know about, as far as ordering food.

@wagirl I guess why the saying ignorance is Bliss ! I don't want to know what goes on in kitchens at restaurants or I may never eat out again!

@Kitty Galore --no kidding--and I don't eat out much anymore---more so because it is stupid expensive -

But also got to be friends with the guy who would come into the store I was working in, --- he took out the rugs and replaced them with clean ones every week --and he told me about the stuff he witnessed while doing this for the local eating places---and warned me not to eat there, as well as the places that were doing a great job--was pretty eye opening and you know-----I followed his advice. But that was 20 some years ago now---

@Enuf iz enuf. Shawn is not a shining example of good hygiene in any aspect of her life that we can see.

Krimpette — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 17:16:19 GMT

@Kachina624 and from what I've read in some posts along the way, she almost brags about it.

I saw him do this a couple of times, and I've never watched him again!

Funny the things we lived through while I was growing up, and we didn't have hand sanitizer. So much of society has become soft and paranoid. You do realize that Mersa, as one example, is on just about eveything you touch in your daily life? Stop worrying about it, or live in a bubble.

Yes the funny things we lived through while growing up without hand sanitizer. Things like washing our hands...and showering and hair washing.Things like covering our mouth when coughing. Things like using a tissue when our nose is dripping, as opposed to to the back of our hand.
