Gah.

THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!!!

All better. I don’t mind bugs/germs/whatever. I’ve just gotten used to the fact that they are here, so are we, and we just have to learn to deal with them sometimes.

people wear dust masks in japan who ARE sick as a means to prevent the spreading of germs to others. Well people do not wear masks to prevent illness there, generally. This is considered a common courtesy and when you think about it, makes some sense. The idea of wet hankies in the back pocket is unthinkable there. Overall, food handling in restaraunts is a big problem, especially when very low wage earners fresh off the boat from the tropics are employed en masse. One must ingest dirt and grime, however, to have a good immune system and bubble baby syndrome among hypcondriacs who are always sick is problematic. Some so called antiseptic sprays and “wipes” are inneffective.

For those who think germs are fine and that we should be accept them – well, now I know what infestation does to the thinking process.

while at first living in Japan (or I would imagine any Asian country) seeing people everywhere wearing surgical paper masks and gloves seems a bit odd … till after you get sick here a few times, then realize hey! this is a GREAT idea! Just those 2 simple things keep down the sick issues with me here. Also, due to this being common practice here, you can always find them cheap! disposable and extremely lowcost (o sure , there are expensive brand names with fancy this and thats too here, as well .. like rhinestones on your facemasks, etc. … ridiculous IMHO) anyways also, in Japan you haver NO choice but to air out your futons (this word has different meaning in say the states) – your mattresses and blankets – DAILY! daily you hang them out and SMACK the dust out of them and then store them in plastic bags till you use them again at night – oh and put dehumidifier (hah wouldnt know the english word that is equivalent) … buckets? these bulky pain in the arse to use … things that draw out any moisture and help kill any microscopic bugs. Its a pain! but! getting sick is more of a pain.

I think we’ve all been exposed to most or all of these “bugs” for as long as we’ve lived and are all still alive. I’m not condoning being extra careful and keeping clean but I think our society is becoming way too paranoid.
Stay healthy by exercising and eating a proper diet and your body will do the rest!!!
OR you can place yourself in a bubble and stay away from the rest of the world.
