groovy, we are offered flu shots at work every year.  I haven't gotten them in the past due to allergies.  My allergy symptoms resemble cold/flu symptoms.  Now that I take Claritan daily, flu shot, here I come!

bebe, even after a standard hand washing, resident bacteria is left on the hands.  It takes an 8 minute scrub to remove them.  What's left after hand sanitizer is even more resitant.  And as you stated, the superbugs are going to be next to impossible to get rid of, between the overuse of antibiotics and hand sanitizers.

My parents always made us wash our hands frequently as kids.  This stayed with my brother and I through adulthood.  I was amazed when my Mom made me use hand sanitzer in the car before getting some grapes.
