Since covid hit and the message was sanatise and clean your hands all the time I’m finding it hard to see a way out of the mindset.
I’ve always been one to wash hands after the bathroom,before eating, after handling the bins etc etc and am quite funny about germs anyway. But since covid I am now doing things i wouldnt have before.
For example when out and about if i touch a door handle or a seatbelt in a taxi i have to sanatise my hands right away as if I dont I panic that the germs are then being passed onto my phone, keys,basically anything i own that I would then touch.
If i for some reason forget myself and don’t do it i panic that I am going to get sick and its going to be my own fault for forgetting to sanatise. And then i have to clean down the things ive touched.
When my son gets home from school I don’t let him touch anything until he scrubs his hands first.
Am I being unreasonable to think that we need to clean our hands after everything we touch outside of our house?
How likely are we to catch covid off a door handle? Am I being over the top?
If my son presses the button at the lights and I dont get to clean his hands right away then when he touches
his schoolbag I see the germs transferring on to his bag and then his clothes etc etc 🙈
I’m driving myself mad!
