Now that it’s cold and flu season…
And especially because it’s holiday time…
Everyone is in defensive and offensive mode…
To avoid getting sick…
And doing things to not spread or get germs...
Like cover your cough or sneeze…
Or don’t walk into someone else’s…
Wash your hands frequently...
And staying away from sick people.
But I think the most vital thing you can do…
Is stay away from your fingers...
Don’t scoff!
All I'm saying is...
Do not put your fingers in your orifices…
Specifically...
DO NOT put your finger in your mouth
No matter how much steak is stuck in your teeth!
Because the last thing you touched…
Could be the door knob to the public restroom.
DO NOT put your finger in your nose…
No matter how much that booger or hair is stuck.
Because the last thing you touched…
Could be the person’s hand you shook who sneezed into it.
DO NOT put your finger in your ear…
No matter how much you enjoy scooping out wax…
Because the last thing you touched could be a filthy shopping cart handle.
DO NOT put your finger to your eye…
No matter how much it itches or has goo…
Because the last thing you touched was…
Well? Do you even remember what you touched last?
See?
To help stay healthy…
Just don't finger yourself.
So?
What do you do to stay healthy?
Always, Em-Musing
