I found a new love a couple of years ago. I like to garden. I love how relaxing it is and I've gotten pretty good at it. I have become paranoid though cuz about a year ago I grew a new bacteria and read something about it that says it is found in dirt among other things, ughh. I don't want to give up this hobby. Am I being overly paranoid and are there things I can do to help myself relax about this. Yesterday I wore gloves and a mask. Admittedly I fealt ridiculous; but, if that helps I'll do it. I don't want this darn disease to take one more enjoyment out of my life. Please help!

I garden too. My dr suggested that I take hand sanitizer our with me to use every now and then while outside. She also suggested gloves and a mask. Feels kinda weird to wear that mask...but I figure better to be safe than sorry. I take a break every 20 to 30 minutes to use the hand sanitizer stuff, and when I'm done I use an antimicroble soap...

I didn't want to give it up either!

I wanted a garden this year but hubby is paranoid about me doing so, I am a bit concerned but planned to take precautions as mentioned. My question is knowing myself I would start OUT that way but do you actually wear mask the whole time and are you consistent, I would think well I'm just going to pick xyz so no mask, then next thing you know I would slide a bit more etc.

Negatives are the bacteria. But the positives, are healthy vegetables without all the commercial pesticides and crap! I always feel so much better when I avoid processed foods and can eat organic and local farmstand foods. I plan on planting our vegetable garden this Friday... Taking the day off from work! Thanks for the tip about the antibacterial hand sanitizer. ~Juliet
