Bit of a germaphobe... do i need to worry about germs when making a prilla?

Petter over at Pioneer Snuff does his thing in Thailand snussing so i guess... well, he is fine.

Thanks for that bit of info. I was wondering why that snus was so easy to handbake.

[truthwolf1]

Since snussing I have had some serious bronchitis bouts, usually when seasons meet and when I am in a heavy populated environment.

Large crowds-SNUS-Germs= about a three week hack and feverish headache.

Considering that snus has a PH on average of 8.5 (higher with sterks) and that most bacteria can only thrive in an environment of 6-8 PH, the snus itself kills most bacterial organisms introduced by your hands.

The best option is to only bake ekstra sterk prillas.

So does this mean that handbaking some snus at the same time you are going to the bathroom is not a good idea?

I wash my hands on a habitual basis, at least when I return to my house from being in public places and after using the restroom. I don't worry too much about germs when baking snus, since the high pH level kills bacteria. So yeah, snus is HEALTHY.

@Ansel...hey you need to try some of that Indian tobacco toothpaste...

haha i'd be a bit wary to be honest. I've tried their bidies before which i quite liked and smoked for a bit... and nasal snuff... but not sure about the toothpaste. I will be taking some Stonewall maybe too if they are any good.

It seemed pretty clear I was talking about normal life in Britain here and not from a hospital point of view or from living in deepest Africa. You're a nurse so quite obviously things will be different from your perspective. I didn't really need to waste 5 minutes of my life clarifying that.

Just chatting frosted.. It's all good...

Frosted.. That's just way too broad of a statement and fundamentally not true.. There are all kinds of bad bugs out there and getting ill is not "good" for everyone. If you have a weakened immune system or are elderly it might very well kill your ass... I am familiar with the chicken pox parties and I tend to agree with that because it's much better to get it as a child then later on.

I can't even begin to debate the statement that the only bad bug out there is Norovirus. In AZ alone we have MRSA, Hontovirus, Valley Fever, 4 Different strains of E coli(one of which will hurt you bad), psedomonas, TB, on and on to the break of dawn...

Trust me on this... You don't want to have a sore on your lip when you put in a big pris of Skruf that has vancomycin resistant MRSA on it....

India would be awesome. What I like about it is it's familiar enough due to British colonization, yet much more foreign than Europe. That, and the food rocks :^)

[Ansel]

Maybe India first, we'll see how it goes.

I typically do the sniff test if poop wasn't wiped directly on my palm. If it smells fine, I carry on with the day.

Love it...
