Continuation of #1625

Fortunately, as a result of constant subclinical exposure to microbes, the average Indian, if he survives childhood, has a well-developed immune system!!

I wish you had edited your post#1625 and added this line as the fist line of your post#1625.

You can never wash your hands enough, you can never live in a bubble. So accept the reality, and deal with it the best you can.
 
Human body can tune itself and survive best even in antagonistic conditions. :scared:
Do you think any of us can survive the life in a slum area for 24 hours...even with rebuffs to keep off the smell??
Those children play in the sewage water flowing like a river along their huts and seem to suffer no ill effects!!!
Their body is already immune to their surroundings.
Survival of the fittest due to body's amazing power of adaptation!!!:clap2:

Very often the Post Script contains all the important information!!! :)
 
I started using Dettol body wash soap when it was introduced.
My friend a lady doctor advised me not to use it since
the body will start depending on it and forget that it can take care of itself!

And we drank well water filtered with ordinary cloth (no micro filter) and often fresh milk without boiling. Our obsession with 100% sterile food and drinks is because of degrading environment, brainwashing and lack of faith in ourselves.

I was in hostels between 1962 and 1970.
I drank the tap water.
I ate the food given by the mess.
I bathed in cold water, competing with the others
everyday, even when the ratio of the
bath room :girls = 1:100
Except for an attack of a chicken pox,
I did not suffer any major health problems!!! :hail:
 
I know a few couples who are 'over clean' by all scales and standards.
They clean everything, all the time, and still worry about it being not enough.
The net result...???
None of those couples have any children!!!
So being 'over sterile' often leads to sterility!!! :tsk:
 
When these couples visit us they leave the house and the over head tanks high and dry.

Clothes washed by the servant or even by me in the washing machine have to rinsed

with their own hands and dried in the sun.

We get the direct sunlight in mid day for a few minutes...

thanks to the apartment wings which tower up like a chimneys.

All the washed vessels will be washed again and again.

Usually Fish and guests 'stink' after three days.

These super-clean-guests will start to 'stink'

by their sheer fanatic cleanliness in just three hours!!! :fear:

All live in my house by house rules. If they have different preference "holiday Inn" is close by.

#1625 can be likened to Viswaroopadarsanam, after which #1626 is down to earth comfort zone!
 
ref#1625.

Hand or 'karam' or 'kar' meaning Do / Doing

is used to clean all the organs of the body.

The eyes with simple splashing of water.

Nostrils and ears become archeological excavation sites

with no special equipments other than the nimble fingers.

The less said about the scratching/cleaning other organs the better.

In addition to all these we sneeze into our hand.:whoo:

People blow out and throw away their cold-storage with the same fingers. :doh:

In fact shaking hands with these dubious character might expose us to unknown bacteria. :fear:

Let us hope that it will build our immunity rather than make us suffer for greeting them so genially. :rolleyes:
 
#1643
We should say Vanakkam with folded hands to avoid transfer of bacteria. You have rightly said in how many ways infections can be transmitted.
 
Dear VR Maam,

Actually we are reading now that the most basteria carrier is the mobile phones and there is no way of cleaning that!! What ever cover etc we may use still more bacteria breeds there and the mobile is always on our left or right side of our face!!

dear renukaji !
your post is answer to the old custom of not taking food outside /from unknown people .but this has assumed the name of acharam in the passage of time.it is said that the traits of the person cooking food will be inherited by the consumer.even accepting water is not permitted except when you life is at risk .even in orthodox family the breast feeding mother were given garlics.
you have rightly said that the hungry is controlled by our thoughts.we feel to eat more when we are not active. i had nothing from morning 0500hrs to night 2200 hrs when i decided to immerse the asthi of my father in river kavery (the asthi was carried by me from chennai to trichy-travel by state transport ).even though we used to take food around 0900hrs ,during srartham we will not feel the hunger till the srartham is over around 1400hrs

My son says that ONE of the ways to protect our mobile phone is
NOT to lend it to anyone else.
If available anti-bacterial wipes can be used regularly
to keep the colony of bacteria under check. :)

The best way to greet:

Picture courtesy: Google images.

In our colony, a lady used to visit each house, to wipe the telephones, first with an anti bacterial solution and

then with a scented wipe, once in a week! The charges were nominal. But, now-a-days, she is missing.

I never buy leather slippers. The reasons are:

1. Animal product.

2. They stink. :yuck:

3. They can't be washed with water!

I usually buy washable slippers and wash them often. The handle of the compound gate is given a rinse using the garden hose,

and the knobs / handles of the all door are wiped with soap solution at regular intervals! But I had a friend, who used to

wash and dry all the spices like 'kadugu', 'milagu', 'dhaniyA', 'vendhayam' etc also!! I think it is 'three much'!!! :lol:
