The email said: Stop Washing Your Chicken!

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 2 Feb 23

Shoes Could Be The Reason

celticeagle @celticeagle (189820) • Boise, Idaho 17 Apr 22

I took my March shower today. It was good.

The Horse @TheHorse (238279) • Walnut Creek, California 18 Mar 20

I know that people vary in terms of how often they shower or bathe. I am a Virgo, and that makes me something of a perfectionist. I shower at least once a month, religiously. Today, I took my March shower, and enjoyed it. It...

Did you read the news story about the man who got licked by a dog and had to have his arms and legs amputated? So obviously "bad bugs" (microbes, bacteria, germs) can cause diseases. Do "bad bugs" also cause gum disease, tooth...

Our Fresh Produce Needs A Bath But When?

celticeagle @celticeagle (189820) • Boise, Idaho 2 Jun 18

We all know to wash all supermarket produce before consuming, right? It also makes sense that buying local is a good idea. Why? Because it is not as likely to have bacteria buildup that could be harmful. A cheap and easy way to...
