Moderation is what is needed, a balance.

The "thing" that gets me are health care professionals who know when to put gloves on and yet not when to take them off.

I had a new experience at the dentist the other day. The hygienist took one glove off to chart. Proceeded to put it back on, then wash her gloved hands. Now the gloves were still "clean" as in she didn't touch anything else, but I WILL be having a discussion with the dentist when I can go back and see him. Depending on their source, a box of gloves can't run them any more than $10 (and should be much less) and for crying out loud.......she couldn't use two pairs of gloves on one patient?
