edit: And even more important, get rid of all your antibiotic/antimicrobial hand soaps. These are like antibiotics, and actually will create resistant and pathogenic strains of otherwise harmless microorganisms. The alcohol hand sanitizers won't do this, but nevertheless, using them does not allow your own immune system to recognize and remember them via antibodies.

Where people go wrong is being TOO hygenic. Dont wash your hands quite so much(unless you work in a hospital like I do). Let your kid eat that peice of candy he dropped on the ground. Ive always been this way with my kids, and they DO NOT get sick. Never even had an ear infection. Quit carrying around that little bottle of alcohol gel. It all adds up to a much stronger immune system.
Think about it, if you never ever ever let your body be exposed to pathogens, how the hell are you ever going to build antibodies to them? Some bug comes along, and just ravages your insides and makes you sick as a dog(no offense SnusDog :P ), instead of your body being familiar with that bug, and kicking its candy little ass. 8)
The whole "don't eat that piece of candy...it fell on the floor!" thing makes me laugh too. How often does a baby pick up a toy or teething ring off of the floor and put it in their mouth and the parent doesn't go berzerk, but let it be a food item and they go into overdrive with the "squeaming".
The "5 second rule" has been disproved also...it actually takes more like a minute or more for the germs to set in :P It more depends on what the item is, meaning toys, dry crackers, dry anything, etc won't pick up as many germs as a plate of hot spaghetti or a piece of boloney dropped on the floor. (Think I got that from Myth Busters).

I don't keep my house hospital clean for that reason. I sweep sometimes and mop even less...I don't live in filth but I don't mind a little clutter and dust. I honestly think that my kids pick this crap up from school..from the kids who's mother's do spray them down with lysol.

Early elementary (K thru 3) age children are constantly plagued with viruses. This is the period they are developing their immune systems. Unless you already have a well defined immune system, you will pick-up may of the viruses these kids get. One way to insure you don't pick-up these viruses is to stop them from entering your mucus membranes. The alcohol gel is an excellent tool for doing this.If you have any problems with my posts or signature

My 6 year old daughter is nuts, the pre-k teacher taught her so good about germs she will NOT kiss any one on the mouth. Not me, her sisters, her daddy, gma, no one. She makes us kiss her forehead. It makes my husband angry, but I reminded him that it will keep her from kissing boys, well for a while anyway
