Most college people ( In the US and Abroad) don't wash their hands and some people just have bad grooming habits, which is why diseases seem to spread more readily on college campuses than in some other places. I'm not trying to imply that forein people are less sanitary, I really don't know. I'm just saying that some people in general are not very sanitary. We are all guilty of that, though! How many of us really wash our hands for like a full minute when we get done? And when is the water EVER hot? And when is there ever enough soap?
Well basically when you have a lot of people living together, it can happen. When those people are young adults who could care less about sanitation, it can only get worse.
I know, eh? That's what I was worried about.
I'm probably going to bring bottles of hand sanitizer and a big soap bottle, because I do not want to have disgusting germs all over me.
-shudders-
But thanks for the tip, I was only thinking about bringing huge soap bottles, but hand sanitizer's as well will make me even cleaner!
Dudes, paranoid, much?
You know what else makes 'diseases' (I think infections is better, I don't think college campuses are actually rife with disease) spread quickly? When people have rubbish immune systems because they've spent their lives being paranoid about germs/having their parents be paranoid about germs.
Which is why my friend Manda with her neurotic OCD clean freak mother gets ill loads and has a ton of allergies, while my brother who used to eat dirt (REMEMBER WHEN KIDS ATE DIRT?) isn't allergic to anything and gets ill around once a year.
In conclusion, quit mithering and eat some of your food off the floor.
