It's obviously closely related to broccoli. So I'd think a little lemon juice ought to go very well on it, too! :-)
I'm an obsessive hand washer as it is. I really don't need to add to my already existing neuroses.
It sounds like he's in very good hands, OP. God bless you.
But plastic pillow covers are so tacky.
As if this article isn't gross enough, what's really nasty is when people get sick they're coughing and sneezing and then don't change their bedding after getting well. Bedding should be changed once a week no matter what, IMO.
It's a matter of hygiene.
Right? Little Olive oil, seasoned bread crumbs, roasted garlic, three cheese bread, prosciutto, Genoa salami, a good red...Hey, I'm a wop. And Italian men know their way around the kitchen.
No telling whose fungus is in hotel pillows.
Ewww gross!
Look on the right hand side of that Froogle link... In other words, at the sponsored links... One of the companies (NationalAllergySupply) sells tightly woven cloth pillow "encasings," that'll keep out dust mites. But to filter out one of the main fungal culprits, aspergillus fumigatus, I think you have to get the pore size down to a couple of microns. <*sigh*>
Plastic's tacky but I think I'm going to have to go to it soon, like it or not.
They ain't kilt me yet, no way will I get all worried now!
45 years ago, some of the best sleep sessions I ever had was laying on a pile of half dried shrimp nets, I reckon that those nets were all loaded up with all kinds of germs, but the only things I ever suffered, was the mesh patterns on my ugly face! The damned germs never had a chance!
The cool thing about sleeping on a pile of nets is how easy it is, to figure out, how to scratch the spots that really drive you bonkers!
I am Republican, only because the Republican ideal is aimed at, and dedicated to, the preservation of my "inalienable" rights.
I sure would like to hear your reasons!
If "Republican" no longer equals "FREEDOM", I am damned sure out of here!
Looks like sperm with wigs.
Big fleas
Have little fleas
Upon their backs to bite 'em
And little fleas
Have lesser fleas
And so ad infinitum

Oh Absolutely!!! Yummy!!! Thank you for the tip. In fact, I have some nice ripe limes ready for use. (I'm out of lemons. The limes will do nicely as a substitute.)
We are going to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks for the PBR Finals!
Pabst Blue Ribbon finals???
I have allergies and sinusitus, so I had heard about the importance of changing pillows (every year, for me) and washing frequently. I bleach them once in a while. I'll be adding bleach to every washing now. Ugh.
Gack!
Definitely of interest to transplant patients.
If he has a trach and doesn't get respiratory infections, you certainly must be doing something right.
I work (as a nurse) with 2 children with trachs. One tip you might be able to use: when you wash out the suction container, put a little mouthwash in it. It keeps it from smelling (and kills the germs).
Hey, I inherited mine from my great grandmother,....(everybody else died off in their sleep). If you smell very carefully, you can still smell the cordite from the Civil War when great grandma dispatched the dirty rotten northener carpetbagger....still has the oats in it so you can rub it together on a cold night to keep warm...(Just kidding,..It's been washed at least twice...)
