You might be interested in reading about a nineteenth century physician named Ignaz Semmelweis who made the connection between the lack of hand-washing and a higher mortality rate. Good luck with all your research and your next book. :-)Queen Makeda's Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389235151208506148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650569269425389350.post-77968088234818603392011-07-10T10:30:16.852-04:002011-07-10T10:30:16.852-04:00Oh my!

Some people believe that our obsession with hand sanitizer is killing germs that are helpful and creating super germs. I'm just glad that my doctor washes his hands. :)Krista McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230770035490273428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650569269425389350.post-24023022179479987432011-07-03T11:02:10.928-04:002011-07-03T11:02:10.928-04:00Wow!
