It's here.....

I'm not suggesting that anyone isn't generally clean enough, but it can be difficult at Faire to wash your hands enough, the biggest spreader of general ick...Having worked in a grocery store, I know this to be true.  Don't forget to wash your hands a lot!  You can carry extra hand sanitizer and it's easy to use, just be mindful to use it a lot.  Not period correct, but no one wants the plague in any era!

I am soooo glad we have our handwashing station at our booth.  I wash my hand a lot anyways, but out there I do it much more.

Absolutely! We couldn't do our job without that hand washing station. SOOO glad we set that up.  Well, actually, I think it was you Kate. So, thanks!

Yeah working with leather, some color does end up on your hands, especially with the laces.

Totally agree with the handwashing!! We have a station at the soda booth connected to us, and I try to use it whenever I can, but with the amount of germy money, and other things that go through my hands everyday its no wonder we end up sick...  

The crud is getting better and I am crossing my fingers that by this weekend I will be back to normal happy Muffin!

Jac from the campground said part of it's the dry weather, but also dust blown around from the pit when it's windy making it even worse.

when i got home yesterday and washed my hands.... so much sand/dirt.  and my feet, despite having normal shoes and socks on were smothered in dirt.  and i was just there half a day sunday!

I'm pretty sure my lungs are at least half full of dust.

MG-
You started the handwashing station.  I just brought my camp shower out to leave out there because I knew you actually use yours when you camp. 

And Sitara, I hear ya.  Nothing like the Black Lung we are all going to get this year.
