I recently started getting really serious about washing my hands every time I come home and before I eat.

I can't say for sure whether or not it's working, but I haven't gotten seriously sick in quite a while! I used to get sick CONSTANTLY, so maybe it's making a difference? I know I'm exposed to a lot of our kids' sicknesses though, so I'm not sure how I'm avoiding major sickness... they're sick pretty regularly! Maybe it's all the Vitamin C I've been eating lately (in the form of clementines)!

Are you religious about washing your hands when you get home from being out? Does it help you avoid getting sick?
