Exactly why I ask all guests in my home to remove his or her
shoes.
I never cease to be amazed when the occasional new guest at my home
gives me a funny look when I ask that they remove their shoes
before
entering....but then again if you took stats at the % of people who
don't wash with soap and water after exiting the stall in the
casino
bathroom......oh, nevermind...
Two things I have read and stated as fact (I cannot reference it nor
prove it, but I believe it)
1. Most germs and thus illneses in the home come from the floor,
with
germs being tracked in from the outside. Recommendation: Leave
shoes
at the door, or better yet outdoors.
2. Washing one's hands at least 5 times per day is as effective as
getting the flu vacine to prevent the flu.
