ricardo Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 white gloves These can be purchased where they sell film developing supplies. When I worked in book preservation this is where we bought ours. I just did a super quick search and found some. They were $9.95 for 12 pairs. Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Dry bleach from the pool supply store rather then liquid bleach.. I can store more dry bleach in less space and it doesn't go bad. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 gloves, white gloves I can bleach so when I go out my skin doesn't have to come in contact with shopping carts or doors. I saw something interesting at the grocery store last week. Albertson's had set up a small stand in the shopping cart area with 2 different kinds of Clorox anti-bacterial wipes on it. It was put there for customers to use to wipe the handrails on the shopping carts. Unfortunately, the containers were empty but, it seems that the message is becoming more clear to some of the grocery chains. If their customers keep passing around germs, no one will be able to shop. I always have a small container of anti-bacterial waterless hand cleaner in my purse, as well as clean tissues, and some type of wipes. I do use something to wipe the handrail on the cart I use, most of the time, but sometimes I'm in such a hurry, I don't think about it. I need to make a point of using a wipe every time I shop. I also need to put a few pair of non-surgical exam gloves in my bag. I don't have a problem wearing these at all. As a matter of fact, I use them all the time in my kitchen, to cut up or process chicken, beef or pork, or for any other messy job. I hate to get anything under my fingernails! I think the white gloves are a great idea for those that will use them but, for me, they would be too cumbersome, and too much of a hassle, worrying about handling them after I thought they might be contaminated, losing them in the wash to the sock gremlin...

cartoongirl Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Latex gloves are pretty cheap and I see most, if not all are made in China. I've got a couple boxes in my cupboard hoping to never have to use them. Also adding, paper plates, paper cups, plastic spoons, knives, forks. Sanitary and who want to do dishes when someone or yourself is sick or exhausted. Maybe add some nutritional drinks to the list like ensure, carnation instant breakfast, even ovaltine which I'm buying tomorrow. Some people can't hold down food when they are generally sick, I'm not one of them. I can't eat when I am very nervous or very stressed which is probably more on the normal side. Nutritional drinks will help. Easy to store too. Link to comment
MoonGoddess Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Nanapop, IMHO even though I have 200 pairs of gloves in my stock, for shopping the wipes are a better idea as you will be transferring germs from the trolley handle to every item of shopping you place in your cart by the gloves themselves.

Guest Guest Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Very true, Guy! I intend to use both. That way, it may tend to mitigate potential viral transfers. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 One more thing... buy food grade hydrogen peroxide to clean any fruits or veggies purchased at the grocery store. If you have to peel it, you still should do a quick dip, but things like apples, grapes, cherries, carrots, etc., really should be thoroughly washed. You never know who may have sneezed or coughed on them! Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 fruits and vegetables is where pays to have a garden, grow as much as you can in containers if you don't have a yard and get familiar with farms! Also learning to root cellar apples or winter squash, pears, and canning is a must! make note... more seeds! Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 when buying gloves... make sure you understand are they talking about individual gloves or pairs to a box. Usually 250 gloves means each not pairs. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 My gloves come in boxes of 100 individual gloves, not pairs. Exam gloves are usually packaged that way; surgical gloves are packaged individually in pairs. Link to comment

motherearth Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Just a FYI on Zicam. My DIL said that a woman that she works with and her daughter used it and they lost the sense of smell. They were told by the dr. that it doesn't always come back. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 In a life and death situtation... no smell or death.. no smell or death.... which would you take? Link to comment
logcabinmama Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Is there a real choice??? No smell wins out for sure. DH's dad could not smell for the last 40 + years of his life. Just think of all the hands that have touched it. You are so right with that one, wipe, wipe, wipe. I usually don't carry a purse any more unless we are going out of town. But, I do have pockets. I can carry a small bottle in one of them. Link to comment
ricardo Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 My husband recently got over a nasty bug. When the whole family had pneumonia he took the longest to get over it and it left him without smell for several months. Link to comment
