1. Pens
Do you have a pen?—NO, I DON’T! This should be your answer every time someone wants your pen. Also, if you find yourself in your doctor’s office, don’t think it will be any different. The clipboard pen is one of the filthiest things in his or her office.
Researchers found the clipboard pen has more than 46,000 times more germs than an average toilet seat. That’s why Dr. Arthur decided not to share or borrow pens that are provided in public places, especially in a doctor’s office.
“Everyone is touching them, and in a place where people are sick they are even more likely to have bacteria or viruses on them,” she says. “Bring your own pen for filling out forms.” However, if you forgot about it, try to keep in your purse or jacket a hand sanitizer.

Thank you so much for the keen and healthy advice. We often forget the obvious things that spread germs that contribute to negligent behavior. However, when you publish reminders like these ; they are well appreciated.
A lot of things I never knew……..Thanks for the tips.
How did we ever survive in the generations before us?
Don’t forget toothbrushes. I had a girlfriend 100 years ago that would share her toothbrush with me if I forgot one.
