The Flu Vaccine used to be made with modified Live Virus, now it's not. I get veccinated as soon as it is available, usually in August. The very young, the very old, and people with compramized Immune Systems are the targets of the deadliest of Flus. People that smoke should get the shot. The strains that the shots are made of, are the one's as determined by the CDC to be the deadliest. There are thousands of viruses out there, but only three are in the shot. We had three members of the same Family that died last year of the Flu. I only use hand sanitizer after using a shopping cart, but that's mainly because you don't know who washes their hands after going to the Bath Room. My rule of thumb is hand washing frequently, and not touching my eyes, nose or mouth unless the hands are washed. Some viruses can be caught through the air, but most are from touching surfaces where an ill person has touched. I'd love to take a swab of a shopping cart, and see what kinds of bacteria grows in those dishes.
We got to randomly swab anything we wanted, grow it and stain it, in my microbiology class (super neat class, btw), I swabbed my throat, my purse, the soda machine in the hallway, my hands, all kinds of stuff.
There are some things that should never be known
It cannot be unseen!!!
