I guess that's why I don't mind the mission field. I just don't think about it. And guess who is the ONLY one who doesn't get sick on missions trips? MOI!

I was recently in the office of a college counselor, talking with him and my son about the testing needed to enter the college this fall. He has a sign on his desk that stated, "Thanks for understanding a no handshake greeting."
He told me that he just returned to work that week, after 4 months.
3 of which were spent in isolation at a hospital because he contracted a rare form of a staff virus.
He had shaken the hands of students for years as a gesture of greeting.
The specialist told him that one of the students most likely had the virus on them from their shower or bathroom in their dorm.
He told me that he will not shake hands again, it almost cost him life and his left leg.
So to wash your hands afterwords would be a good idea.
Never touch your mouth, nose or bite your nails after shaking hands.
That is the most common way of contracting the germs...
