I thought I used to do this, and then when my SIL was diagnosed with cancer and we all had to be so careful around her, my awareness increased tenfold. I even keep little Wet Ones disinfecting wipes at my desk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-your-hands-an-obscene-number-of-times-a-day#post-1952165 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 11:27:42 +0000 Iced Tea 1952165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I walk into the house, the first thing I do is remove my shoes (who knows what nastiness they would drag in from the street) then I wash my hands. It’s my attempt to keep the germs out of my house. Oh and I often wipe down the dog’s paws when we come inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-your-hands-an-obscene-number-of-times-a-day#post-1952159 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 11:25:29 +0000 LindsayInNY 1952159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm terrible at washing my hands...

They are so gross. I JUST got a new keyboard and mouse, so I feel like they're still... fresh. But, my phone is probably disgusting and I just try to avoid using it ever. hah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-your-hands-an-obscene-number-of-times-a-day#post-1952060 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 10:52:54 +0000 mrbee 1952060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I read once that keyboards and phones are teeming with germs from our fingers, and now my seemingly germ-free work experience has been ruined forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-your-hands-an-obscene-number-of-times-a-day#post-1952053 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 10:51:29 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1952053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bubbles: Same. I really hardly wash my hands at all throughout the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-your-hands-an-obscene-number-of-times-a-day#post-1952050 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 10:50:52 +0000 .twist. 1952050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know about obscene. I know I said I wash them enough for them to fall off, but I was being totally dramatic. lol. </p> <p>I wash them if I've been on the train, used the bathroom, coughed on them or sneezed... </p> <p>During the day I'm at work so I don't *feel* like they get as germy. I find I wash them a lot more when I'm at home, diaper changes, wiping up snot on L's face, food, drool, dogs, cats. lol... my house is a big cesspool I'm sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-your-hands-an-obscene-number-of-times-a-day#post-1952043 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 10:48:35 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1952043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep.

I used to not be as diligent but I was getting sick all the time after the kids started daycare, so I changed my ways. Well also, all those diaper changes made me paranoid!</p> <p>Do you wash your hands an obscene number of times a day? Do you wash them more since becoming a parent? </p>
