I don’t know about this. What about those onions that we buy that have been sitting in the store. Are they also collecting germs or bacteria as folks pass by them or finger them looking for the right onion and leaving who knows what on them? Think about all the people who are in that store daily.
LOL!!
I guess the difference is whether they are in a cool refrigerated area or open air, the ones in a store are cooled, not open, room temperature
Worse than the onions is the money used to pay for them. I’ve read these flu germs can linger for days there. I’m trying to use only exact change or my cc. BUT, I have thought about everything I pick up in the store being possibly contaminated, so washing fruit and veggies and other things immediately is key along with my hands. Our grocery store has those wipes out front for the cart - I take extra and use on my hands as I go.
I scan the check out people to look for healthy ones :) I am really pro-active on this as I cannot afford to be sick because others are running around passing us their germs. I go to the drive-thru to pick up meds instead of inside - use my own pen to sign etc.
The best advice I have gathered on many threads is gargling with salt water every night, using a nasal spray saline type wash and taking Vit D3 1000 IU and Vit C. I also take a lot of pomegranate juice and if I feel anything coming on I take Esberitox, Olive Leaf. Astralagus and/or Oscillococcinum
