You are talking to a woman who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.

I had to quit diet Coke because the carbonation was making me have more acid in my esophagus. I have silent GERD. I don't get heartburn, but the acid is always in my throat and my doctor was always convinced I was going to get Barrett's esophagus and cancer. Now if I accidentally drink my husband's soda, it makes me want to vomit and is very unpleasant on my throat. It's like battery acid to me.
Someone tell me I'm crazy for worrying.
My husband set my baby's tub on the toilet while he took a shower (we just bathed baby tonight). Afterward, he hung the tub up to dry (it has a hook you can attach to shower rod). My head touched the tub as I was leaving the bathroom. Now, I'm freaking.
I think it'll be ok and I don't think you're are crazy. I only have one bathroom so I keep a can of Lysol there in case someone else has to use it. I spray everything down afterward. I also have travel size Lysol, as a diabetic, sometimes I have to go in public. I spray down any toilets that I have to use. I'd just spray down the baby tub and let it dry. You can rinse it before the baby uses it again.
Hi. I'm the person who can't touch doorknobs. If I touch a doorknob I panic inside. It's been over 20 years since I purposely touched a doorknob. I'm also a hsndwashing snob. I will tell anyone off if they don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. I also have sensitivity issues and can't use lotion. Sometimes I wash my hands so much they crack. Public bathrooms? I will come home just to use the bathroom. When I was pregnant I could tell you every clean bathroom in Southern Illinois and western Kentucky. I may have OCD. I may not. I just know that since I don't touch doorknobs I catch less colds.
I think there's a balance. The recent covid events have shown me that us germaphobes aren't wrong. I did have a grandmother who would wash her hands for hours every day (OCD), I so realize there's a point where it's too much. I try to straddle that line. Even before 2020 I kept hand sanitizer in my purse, car, and house and used it liberally. If I have to use a public toilet I never touch the seat.
I got a phone sanitizer today. I am sanitizing everything that will fit in it!
Would you leave the tap running?
You just used the restroom at a gas station.
There's no paper towels. Only a hand dryer.
Would you turn the water off after washing your hands knowing you and many others touched the knobs after doing who knows what.
I let it run. Lucky for them, someone came in shortly after I did.
I'll make sure to carry napkins if I go there again.
