I work at a gym, because of that I have become so freaked out by germs, what do I do? There all over the place

Question:

Answers:
Your immune system improves when challenged by different strains of bacteria. Although you may get sick more often when you start working somewhere like a gym, you will soon build up a resistance to the common strains.

Avoid over-use of anti-bacterial sprays and soaps. There are bacteria living on your skin all the time, and many of these actually help your body fight disease. If you keep killing those bacteria, you may actually end up sick.

Bring some hand sanitizer with you and wash your hands all the time.
