How much is “partly”?

Leprosy occurs most anywhere. It occurs in south Texas. I found that out when hunting in the brush with some Uni friends. Shot a armadillo, cleaned it and took it home to freeze for a batch of chili.

Days later I was in the library and looked up the mammal pill bugs. Found out that leprosy is common under their shell — “So, be careful.”

Aw, Jeesh.

you can either wash your hands 37 times a day (and it still won’t be enough), or you can just embrace the germs and let your immune system do what it does best

Those are your only two choices?

Michael Savage, who took a lot of cheap shots here at FR, was all over the issue some 25-30 years ago.

Well, you could wash your hands more than 37 times a day (it still won’t be enough) or less than 37 times a day (which certainly won’t be enough). So I thought picking just one number would be enough of an illustration.

I was thinking I could wash my hands a few times a day at the most obvious times, such as before preparing food, or after wiping, or handling raw poultry, or touching a menu that a 1000 people have touched.
But to each his own.

Somewhere between negligence and neuroticism.

What part of ‘central Florida’... that’s a large area and includes Disney World.
