Hi there and welcome.
I myself try to go along with the idea that, the minute amount of anything on our hands, would render such things within harmless parameters. We are bombarded with information on labels, that are more to protect the manufacturers, from any possibility of litigation of any kind, rather than giving us helpful instructions on how to get the most out of the product. In health care it is frightening, hygiene rules seem to contradict. Everything becomes unworkable. There is a new idea on the sidelines… The concept of contamination, where not everything is bad, in fact miniscule contact can actually help our immune systems to strengthen, and ultimately make us stronger. A bit like immunisations.
If we really knew what was in the air we breathe, all of the time, and always have done, well…
We need to allow ourselves to not be 100% perfect, and let our built in natural systems do the work, and our children will need be built up too, in their own time. But it’s not easy is it?
