Ive been juicing all my meals and drinking them through a straw to avoid my hands going anywhere near my face....that KFCshake was surprisingly tasty.

“don’t touch your face too much”
- Thread starter Fat4all
- Start date
Yeah just wash your hands thoroughly after coming back home, first thing.
I hate joke threads like these. Specially now. Some of y'all need to reduce the shtick during these times.
Wash your hands thoroughly immediately when you get home, and disinfect common surfaces (faucets, doorknobs, touchpads, and anything you take with you when you leave like your phone or keys) with Lysol spray or wipes (make sure the surface is wet for 10 minutes, and allow it to air dry).
If your home is contaminated enough that the virus is lingering on other surfaces, there's not really much you can do about it. Just wash your hands as frequently as you can and try to stay safe (you can never be truly safe unless you put yourself in a bubble and never leave it, but that doesn't mean you should just give up).
Sounds like a good time to play Edward 40 hands
Stingray?
No, hands on the face are not fine. Touching the skin on your face can transfer the virus that much closer to your eyes, nose, and mouth. It's literally how viruses spread. Stop spreading falsehoods.
I live in a state where my eyes constantly itch and I rub my eyes a lot. It's been a real struggle.
Unfortunately lysol wipes and spray are sold out near me, I have been washing door handles with soap and hot water, and countertops and stuff.
Cover your hands in capsaicin cream. I guarantee you'll only make the mistake of touching your eyes or nose once.
Yeah, the run on hand sanitizer and disinfectant is making things more dangerous for a lot of people.
Soap and water should work (it's just more of a hassle). You may also be able to bleach some surfaces (though obviously it's highly caustic and damaging to a lot of materials).
Just don't touch your face.
Or touch the food you're eating with your bare, unwashed hands.
Or fiddle with the top of a straw in your drink. Or drink with a straw from a dispenser that doesn't have wrapped straws.
Or eat with unsterilized utensils at restaurants.
Or rub your eyes if they itch.
Or pick your nose.
Or put your fingers on your lips or anywhere near your mouth.
You'll be fine!

As others have said; at home you are fine.
My strat right now when I'm at a supermarket or something (which I try to be as little as possible) is to full on pretend it's much more deadly and instantaneous than it is. I walk around and act as if I touch anything or my face I will die right there and then. It's kinda rediculous but it works, and it's also a bit exciting, lol.
Playtime and keeps me more healthy.

Yeah but if you're picking up germs while your out and about you bring those back home with you... I've been doing my best to use hand sanitizer as soon as I come in contact with anything that can be contaminated, but I've also come to the conclusion that it's nearly impossible to ensure that you're not cross contaminating stuff even when you aren't touching your face. Take my wallet for example. At the grocery store you touch a bunch of potentially contaminated products, then you use your wallet and your credit card to pay for it. Then on your way back to your car you have to touch your keys to unlock the door.
There's just not a whole lot we can do other than wash our hands as much is reasonable, and particularly after you touch anything that is potentially contaminated.
Another concerning thing I learned today was that viruses are actually preserved under freezing temperatures. So any frozen foods that are contaminated will likely remain contaminated for as long as you have the product in your freezer.
I struggle to avoid it as well. I've been trying to improve but it happens without me realizing it.
Yeah, it's very hard for me too, especially with tics. I just make sure to use disinfectant frequently during the day.
this is me all the timeI do this shit all day and it feels impossible to stop
when im watching sommit or reading sommit, my hand just naturally goes into that position
when im playing a video game, i pull the collar of my shirt up over my mouth
just feels right
Wash your face?
Give it a nice solid scrub with warm water and soap when you wake up and before you go to bed. If you been out doing stuff give it a quick wipe down.
You'll be surprised how much oil and dirt builds up on your face over the day which leads to irritation.

One of my parents saw a fleck in my beard and reached out to flick and I basically wentBetter than having someone else touch your face.
here this might help https://www.donttouchyaface.com/
It's a site that uses your webcam and machine learning to figure out when your hands reach your face, and blares an awful sound.
I rest my chin between my index finger an me thumb or rest my index finger on my lip whenever I'm reading or thinking, I also my hands down my stubble all the time.
If it gives me the virus fuck it whatever, can't stop won't stop.
