infections specifically tinea manum aka ringworm can live on surfaces for 18 months🤯

The literature on this does not say ANYWHERE about catching it from plastic bubble wrapper mailer packaging,door handles, grocery hand baskets…but these are some of the wonderful places you can catch this 🙄

never cared for alcohol sanitizers for✋🏼✋🏼but do use it to clean objects prior to touching & continue to do so but now getting 🧤🧤just to open package🤦🏻‍♀️

I am honestly doubtful if hand hygiene is all that important in any respiratory virus, but the cost of hand washing is so low, and the potential benefit so large and obvious, that I'm 100% on board with keeping doing it regularly. I'm not aware of any good DATA--not just physician's lore--demonstrates fomite or droplet transmission. I've not looked very hard, mind, so am likely missing lots.
