Wash Your Hands! My name is Sandi and I am a germ phobe. I get taunted on this daily, but I Have Never Been Sick Since 1999. Also, I wash and clean everything appropriately. I am never too lazy or tired to rinse anything off. I observe like mad where I am eating, the hostess, the floors, the bathrooms. If anything looks mis managed or unclean, I do not order anything that will be touched too much or I just leave. Dont even get me started on some food trucks. They may appear clean and get rave reviews, but when I see a food truck parked at a residence that looks like squaller. I mark it off my list. If people are not clean at home, they will not be clean preparing your food, period. Most people do not care. I Know!
Hi Sandi.
Thank you for your handwashing tip. And for six dozen other comments!
Aloha.
Like long Covid, Norovirus often causes long-term digestive issues such as Colitis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome in many victims. Since it spreads through the fecal-oral route, handwashing is the best defense.
Hi Rob.
Perhaps we should feel grateful to have gotten over all of it, including the residual weakness, in 10 days or so. Thanks for so many comments over the past three years.
Aloha.
Hey, I got sick at a London Indian food place too. It had awards listed in the window. Not only was the food expensive and nothing special, but I regretted eating there for days afterward. Now I never go to any Indian food restaurants in London – whether I’m in Islington or not. Just not worth taking a chance. I missed too many activities. Maybe I should have realized my mistake when I saw that the restaurant wasn’t overflowing with customers. If it was really so good, it should have been far more popular.
Hi Tony.
Funny coincidence, or not. Hope you’re fully recovered!
Aloha.
I’m planning a trip to London. Who did you get travel insurance with? Aloha and mahalo.
Hi Carol.
