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 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.
