I got a foot fungus even though I wear shower shoes and the doc told me I was lucky that was the only thing I have caught. I now carry a can of Lysol into the shower and spray down everything then take a shower while trying not to think of the pig who was in here before me.... tootie And I wipe off my silverware on my napkin first before I start shoveling food in my pie-hole just in case some moron back there isn't doing his job like he's supposed to and my fork spent more than 5 seconds on the floor after he dropped it but couldn't bend over to pick it up within the 5 second rule law. If by chance I have to resort to handle anything that every other Tom, Dick or Harry has handled as well, I wash my hands ASAP. The good news is I haven't had so much as a cold in years. Wow, here I thought I was the only germ-o-phobe in this business. Apparently there is a whole underground movement of us out there by this thread. That's pretty funny!

Everytime I get back to the truck from being inside a T/S, or wherever I use Purell to sanitize my hands.
And I never eat at a buffet, I have seen a couple times in my life. Kids eating out of the buffet walking down the line, 1 time with there hands, the second they actually took a fork with them. So I always have that in the back of my mind and cannot eat them.

This is why I say ex-military are perfect for trucking. Communal showers, eating out of tin cans, sleeping in foxholes, etc...

I bought baby powder but that stuff gets everywhere. I saw some monkey ass thing in the truck stop but just the name and it doesn't seem legitimate.
I have cloth seats so I'm thinking they have covers or something but I wasn't sure. I've been meaning to ask but I didn't want to start a new thread over that so I guess I'll ask here.
