A how to properly wash your hands sign with a few other tips added by me

Recently, I saw the following hand washing sign in the women's restroom at Best Buy in Puyallup, WA (see image below). 

A few other tips I'd add to that list to prevent the spread of germs after washing your hands in public restrooms:

1) Use a paper towel to open the bathroom door (when exiting) after you've just washed your hands.

2) If the setup has you crank out your paper towel (some public restrooms) where there's a handle to touch to get paper towels out, be sure to crank out the paper towel FIRST then dry your hands on the clean paper towel so you don't have to touch the paper towel handle dispenser AFTER washing your hands.

3) A reminder from a previous post of mine, NEVER use the hand air dryers found in some public restrooms still. Even BEFORE Covid, it's been proven that those just blow around germs. As I mentioned in a previous post, if that is the ONLY way you can dry your hands in the restroom you're in, go out to a place that you can dry your hands (for example, Winco has a pizza stand at the front of their store near their restrooms where you can grab napkins out of the dispenser right next to the cash register for FREE).

Leftover different types of lung teas I took to help recover after I had Covid

Image
To assist with the long-term breathing problems I had when recovering from Covid, I took a picture of the leftover different types of lung teas I still have in my pantry (BELOW). I liked the "Lung Soother" (tea that's pictured in the middle of the other teas) best with regard to taste especially after letting it steep for awhile (when the taste of the tea intensifies) it's still good. These teas were bought off of Amazon. The price of the Lung Soother tea was in the $6 range. I have this leftover Mucus Relief Maximum Strength tablets (BELOW) from when I had Covid. I don't think they did much, but when I checked the expiration on it today (it's still good until 3/2025). I won't photograph other healthy breathing supplements (tablet form) that I took as I no longer have and besides I honestly think the lung teas (which are supplements as well) are the most beneficial. Be sure to follow the instructions for the tea/(s) you choose to drink. I also won't...

The Breather

Image
The Breather (BELOW) is a drug free way to exercise your lungs (I used several times a day when recovering from Covid). It has different levels of resistance that you work up to (similar to how one would when using hand weights when exercising). You can adjust the "inhale" and "exhale" resistance levels on the device to your comfort level. You have to wash the Breather daily with soap and water (I used dish soap & dish sponge) and you can wipe it down (however, letting it air dry like you would dishes, for example) lets it dry in the interior so when you use next you won't be sucking in water drops (when inhaling in & out). I could notice the difference when it was still wet on the inside (even when exhaling with the Breather if it was wet). There's a short video you can watch (paperwork including tracking your "reps" the amount of inhale & exhales [breaths] you take with the Breather to ensure that you're using correctly) that you ...

2 Covid prevention tips

Image
Covid prevention tip #1:  Either have antibacterial hand wipes OR hand sanitizer spray OR gel (minimally on you at all times) so that you can quickly disinfect hands after touching commonly touched surfaces in public/NOT have to touch commonly touched surfaces in public (i.e. if you use the hand wipe as a barrier when touching commonly touched surfaces such as doorknobs or pin pads at checkout). Well known brands for antibacterial hand wipes are "Wet Ones" and "Purell", of course store brand wipes work as well. Covid prevention tip #2:  To further support my point in Covid prevention tip #1, I was at Walgreens tonight and I thought I'd use the hand wipes that they provide in store since it'd be quicker to grab than my wipes in my bag (for wiping the shopping cart). I expected the first wipe or 2 to be dry, but even after grabbing a few, they were all so dry that I dug out my hand wipes (see photo below) that I got for the first time (first time I've eve...
