You know the washing hands part is about the only part that helps. The anti-bacterial stuff doesn't hardly help at all since most of that stuff isn't caused by bacteria. Also, a MD once told me that anti-bacterial stuff is NOT good for you. It kills the good bacteria too.

Anyway, yes, it sucks and I have one now. Not too bad this time...at least so far. What the killer is that I got the first one in LA in Jan when it was 80 degrees and now I am in Florida and got another one.
