Think this is an astute way to go about things!

This is awesome insight, thank you!

Appreciate the recommendation! I’m going to look into it.

Absolutely. I’ve read some studies suggesting that small exposures, like a few minutes of cold water immersion or playing in the dirt can actually train your immune cells to respond more quickly.

🤣 mine is too, she has a stash of sanitizer at my aunt’s house who we generally only see once a year over the holidays.

Smart move! Are there any specific brands you’d recommend?

That’s a tough experience, I’m sorry to hear about your acquaintance. You’re right though, in open wound situations, cleaning and treatment are VITAL. The point here is more about how daily handwashing can become excessive…absolutely not recommending avoiding hygiene altogether.
