Hi Kath,
> I don't like taking flu shots. I don't trust how they make vaccines. I believe that some even have mercury in them & some people believe that Autism is linked with children receiving 'shots'.Larry Hoover's thoughtful analysis of this subject might put your mind to ease:

> Regarding hand sanitizing, there are doctors who are against all the 'anti-bacterial' products, believing that even stronger bacteria will result from these products being used on a large scale. They say a good thorough wash with soap is just fine.
My microbial ecology professor in grad school expressed that concern. As far as I know, the jury's still out on it. With respect to hand washing, an important thing is washing your hands long enough - most people don't lather up for the full 20 seconds you need for a proper wash.
