If there’s anything we’ve learned from the coronavirus pandemic, it’s that washing our hands is one of the best ways to protect ourselves from the dangers of contagion. But hand washing does much more than cleanse us physically; sometimes it can wipe our mental slate clean. Here are some examples of what a bit of soap can do for our psyches.

      Yeah I use Cerave lotion as needed, just annoying having greasy hands sometimes. I also occasionally wear gloves overnight with either Vaseline or sometimes a steroid cream when things get real bad.

          I hate to say it but I think my dog is to blame. I was pretty much entirely I symptom free before getting him. Seems to slowly abating year over year, though. I guess I’m getting used to all the dirt, fur, and dander.
