We're oversanitised and over-antiobiotic-ised (yeah I made it up) in Australia and this has lead to a massive increase in food allergies and a lowering in immune system function. Good for you for blowing off the fuzz and putting the food back in the kids' mouths. One day they'll thank you for it. :) Not a big worrier at all.

I also am not a germophobe and refuse to buy anti-bacterial anything...well, except toilet cleaner. I like me some bacteria-free toilets. You know what commercial just killed me? It was maybe a year or two ago and was basically saying that if you love your family you should put paper towels in the bathroom instead of regular towels so that your kids won't get germs on their hands...I can't remember exactly how it went, but the message was so heavy-handed. Honestly, like a family doesn't all share each other's germs anyway? And like we need EVEN MORE paper waste in the world? Hi, just followed a link over from Self-Made Mom.

We eat things that have fallen on a clean floor. I am not the best with handwashing, though I do tend to do better during the germy seasons. I refuse to buy antibacterial soap, I get Soft Soap instead. If someone gets sick, I go through the house and wipe down pertinent areas and try to stay away from others so we don't spread our germs. If I have a friend with a sick child, then I appreciate them doing the same. My mother on the other hand...won't even come to see us if we have a sniffle... Amazingly for my lack of germ care (knock on wood), we each maybe only get one cold a year. Every few years we will pick up a stomach bug and one year the kids and I got the flu, but overall, we are a healthy bunch. I am not a big worrier over germs.
