I'm Glad I'm a Germaphobe...

People have been known to bug me about being a germaphobe. I don't share drinks, I wash my hands lots. I use hand sani when traveling. I wash the cup in the hotel room before I use it. I use paper or my sleeve when I grab the bathroom door. I don't use the top lid in the stack at Starbucks, etc. Today, I read a story that justifies my behaviour!!

Doctors in Arizona thought a Phoenix-area woman had a possible brain tumor,
but it turned out there was something else penetrating her brain – a worm.

Doctors removed the worm and don't believe Alvarez will have any lingering
health problems. No one knows exactly where she picked up the worm –- doctors
said worms can come from eating undercooked pork or spread by people who
don’t wash their hands after using the bathroom, according to the
report.
“It only takes one person who is spreading it constantly to get a lot
of people exposed and some of those people are going to go on to develop this
problem,” Nakaji said.

Watch the video to see the whole story. It's AMAZING!
