I was a bit concerned with that sentence. Almost didn't post with it because it was so graphic and brutal. But it is exactly how I feel about spraying poison near your children.

Was interesting to see while surfing the net for this article how many websites are about destroying germs and preventing body odor; on the order of something like 50:1.

I wrote a similar article for a small newspaper over 10 years ago. People simply reject the idea that we are composed of germs and single cells that are very germ-like and that exposing yourself to things that kill germs is doing yourself harm. They thought I was some sort of nutcase. (which I am, but we won't tell anyone else). It's one of my taller soap boxes that I shout from the top of. No one has much interest in this post. Maybe it's time to post a picture of a kitten.

Most humanized pets aren't that dirty. People often treat their pets better than they treat their children. They buy expensive pet food and cheap groceries and take their pets to the vet while the snot runs down their kid's face.

Both my kids have in and out dogs and cats and they're all healthy. The exposure to the extra germs probably makes their immune systems even stronger. And as long as your pets (or your kids) don't have worms, I see no problem. Thanks for your comment. Always a pleasure.
