Could it be? One of our prized possessions is really our enemy? The thought never occured to me until now when I was reminded by The Frisky. Let’s consider this: our bags have touched everything. You drop it on the seat of your car or on the seat next to you on the bus. You brush up against someone downtown. You drop loose change inside. You set it on the ground while you pick up something else. You set it on the ground when you’re in the bathroom. (There was no hook!) You are always putting your hand in it and or in close contact with it.
Germs. This is how it gets started. And it’s hard for me to believe that the protector of my belongings is not protecting me in this situation. I have realized that you probably gave me the flu for 2 months in fall quarter.
