Readers should weigh whether or not Allison Janse qualifies as an "expert" on this subject.  She is a free-lance writer.  This "germ freak's" personal obsession with health habits merely feeds into the rampant obssessive compulsive behavior that is becoming popular fodder for every run-of-the mill enewsletter out there.

 

Ask yourselves--do we need another enewsletter to tell us to wash our hands or could we possibly have learned that in early childhood?  And if you do need the enewsletter to give you such golden nuggets of advice, you're a bit pathetic.  Stop the worrying and anxiety.  Stop the obsession.  And stop the drivel that fills enewsletters, which are really just trying to promote products and display advertising.  As if you need more of that, too?
