Do we still have the legal right to wash our face? The right to wear a mask seems to have been taken away from some Americans. Now children are being compelled to go to school and sit in classrooms with kids whose parents refuse to wear masks. The Covid can spread from person to person, and kid to kid, before the first one even knows they are sick. I rant, but the situation appears chaotic to me.

So, if I’m a kid in school, what can I do to save myself from getting sick with Covid and possibly dying? I’m stuck for hours indoors for the next nine months with potential Covid carriers who aren’t wearing masks. Even if I wear a mask I’m at risk.

There is one simple thing that you can do beyond just washing your hands. Because you catch the Covid in your nose and not in your hands, the washing of hands isn’t the best defense against  catching the disease. You will catch the Covid disease through your nose, eyes, and mouth, so those are the places where you should be washing. 

I’ve been promoting washing your nose for a year, but that has practically been declared illegal, and I was threatened with losing my Facebook publication rights if I continued promoting that idea. The CDC says putting soap into your nose is dangerous and probably harmful, and I would agree with that simple statement, but I haven’t been proposing that at all. What I have been suggesting is washing your face, including your nostrils, mouth and closed eyes with those diluted soap concentrations usually applied to one self in daily self-cleaning.

I’ve been recommending one drop of Baby Shampoo per cup of water, (preferably pre-boiled to get the chlorine out) to wash your nose. But, that seems repellant to many people, so I will modify the statement, if not the intent, to put one drop of Baby Shampoo on your wet hands and wash your face with more added water. While washing, let a little of the suds get into your nostrils and mouth, and then spit it out.

Soap disables viruses on contact. Keep a source of Baby Shampoo readily available where kids wash their hands and face.
