Purell becomes Popular

One good thing about Swine Flu (or H1N1 flu) is that people seem to be thinking about hand hygiene a bit more than usual. My kids have had a Purell in their lunches for a while now, ever since DD17 was going through treatment (trying to keep germs at bay). The other day, for the first time ever, DS12 was asked by his tablemates at lunch to share his Purell. Seems like everyone thought it might be a good idea to clean their hands before eating. Did they or their mothers not think about hand hygiene before Swine Flu exploded in the press? Um, kids touch LOTS of disgusting things in the course of the school day, not just potential viruses.
