@Russ999 same thing goes for soap tho

@Dan193 George Carlin had a great bit on that. Said as kids they swam in the Hudson which had raw sewage. They were so immune polio wouldn't even come to his 'hood

@SW-User impressive, I've heard of cases like that too

@Dan193 He goes into a bunch of things anti coddling. Dead on point as always

@Dan193 For being more neurotic then or for being less neurotic now? 😆

@SinlessOnslaught yeah, for losing some of that neuroticism. I feel like I might have some as well :'D

@Dan193 You can beat it.

@MrSimons you can get vaccinated for flu, it'll protect you. I got that once or twice myself. About covid, I just didnt trust the vaccine initially, but now after it passed so much time and I didnt get sick while so many around me had, I just feel like I can do without, you know

@Dan193 I think that's quite fair enough. I am just a little surprised given that you seemed a bit concerned about Covid.

@MrSimons that's a fair assumption and I am concerned about it, like somebody else commented here, no one wants to get sick.

@LadyGrace thanks, but it seems like it's not burning as much no more, looks like it's going away on its own

@HannibalAteMeOut other people recommended moisturiser as well, and I'll start doing that. Somebody said that the burn could be because of applying alcohol on dried skin, which totally makes sense.

@Dan193 after using it so much your hands are bound to get dry and even bleed sometimes, same with washing them with soap too frequently.

@HannibalAteMeOut yeah, thankfully it never got to bleeding

You can get drunk if you drink it because the stomach and intestine lining transfers alcohol into the blood stream faster then skin. @MrSimons But it is doing it’s damage anyway

@SW-User I would never advocate drinking it! I sometimes use it but certainly not 5 to 10 times a day!

@SW-User I really don't think is a good idea to drink it. There are different types of alcohol, and the one they use in sanitizers isn't the same as the one we drrink. That would straight up poison u. And alcohol does evaporate in seconds.

@WaryWitchWandering I wish I had some rn. Will know for future

@Dan193 if you have coconut oil or aloe, that could help ease it as well

@WaryWitchWandering it's getting a bit better now

@SW-User I agree. Before the pandemic, people were just gross in general. The ex assistant manager at my local 7-Eleven told me about a guy once who stood in front of the roller food, reached in with his bare hand, picked up a hot dog, looked at it, and then PUT IT BACK ON THE ROLLER!

@LordShadowfire 🤢

@SW-User Needless to say, the guy got trespassed for that.

@Dan193 It's not just covid I'm wary about, it's colds and flu. Hub's going into hospital on Wednesday and he can't get any infection. I'm just being careful for a while 👍

@Dan193 that's what a friend of mine does just like that and he has OCD

@Fluffybull you're doing well. I hope he gets the treatment he needs 💖

@SW-User 😂 you do that? And thanks

@BeJeweled Thanks, and cool profile pic

@Dan193 You're welcome and thanks!🙂

@Fluffybull or maybe it's too strong 🤷‍♂️

@lovelywarpedlemon thanks, I'll do that

@PepsiColaP I wouldn't say extremely. They should take that into account I think, when producing hand sanitizers.

@SW-User I used to actually. That's an interesting thought

@Spoiledbrat good thinking

@basilfawlty89 makes sense. How do u cope? Is it possible to do it without medication? I'm a bit against taking taking pills unless it's life thretening. I prefer to find ways to get my body to heal itself.

@Dan193 CBT, specifically Exposure and Response Prevention therapy.

@basilfawlty89 I see

@Nanori you too?

@candycane great idea
