Hi all, today I agreed to go on a shopping trip with one of my friends. I didn't really want to, but felt I should. Being a saturday the town centre was heaving with people and my friend likes to look around a lot, so we were in and out of quite a few busy shops. I always make sure that I leave my gloves on, so I don't have to touch money or other surfaces with my hands. When I take them off I also use handgel (like when we stopped for lunch). I know this may sound stupid, but now I am worrying about having possibly picked up some kind of flu or bug-crowds have always upset me for that very reason, because I believe that lots of people together equal germs. Is it that easy to catch nasty germs by just being in a busy shop or walking down the high street? Obviously outside it was quite cold, so maybe any germs wouldn't have survived? I don't know...I just wondered if it would be more risky if you had closer contact with people who might have an illness (like a flat mate, work colleague, your child etc). Shouldn't really be stressing about this like I am. Perhaps someone can offer me some sensible thoughts on this....:flowers: thanks guys.
