As a microbiology student , we often study about how these microorganisms are almost everywhere and so we get extra cautious of our hygiene, like i am talking about going everywhere with tissue papers and sanitizers ALWAYS! Washing hands almost every other hour just because you touched your own pet dog… is it just me or someone else too?
Your views on it and would love to know your thoughts and experience with this

So true! After working in labs, I developed a strong habit of sanitizing my hands frequently—even at home.

Washing hands so often makes them dry and also gives notions like “have I developed OCD” and “how did my younger self survived by not handwashing this many times, or was I stronger back then?”

Knowing the hoe microbial contamination works would definitely warrant greater use of hand hygiene practices. However one needs to check themselves so they do not cross the line between being vigilant and being compulsive.

Absolutely! I feel the same! Being around microbes all the time makes us extra careful with hygiene, so tissues and sanitizer are basically essentials. You’re not the only one!
