I was my hands pretty often. I don't go crazy, just soap up and rinse.

I was a thumb sucker when I was a kid. I like to think that helped. There's no way anybody can get exposed to every germ that causes the common cold - there are just too many out there... but being exposed to as many as possible at a young age must help to some extent.

One year I got like 5 or 6 sinus infections. I went to an ENT doctor and they said "you have allergies". I take over the counter allergy meds every day, year round. No more sinus infections.
