Under the weather

I have noticed that with computer power supplys. Inhaling a bit of dust & getting that sick feeling, sweating around the eyes/face & sore behind the eyes too.
From now on I plan to dunk the power supply into a bucket of warm soapy disinfectant containing water before scrapping them out. Theres too much copper not to scrap them, for me anyway.

And getting 'the ****z' after scrapping out a slimy fridge... Thats happened too many times.

The worst was when I was walking home with a bag of hot chips & saw a 'wheelie bin' (120 litre plastic, council supplyed, rubbish bin) full of water.
So I tip it over using one had, deciding not to use that same hand to eat the chips. Hell the rubbish stunk, like vomit... ugh.

Five minutes later I forget not to use THAT hand. Ugh, yeah I got sick, badly stomach sick. Took ages to get right again. I brought some yogurt & that helped a bit. Probiotics should have been my choice.

I just relised I'm probably ghetto immunisating myself against every germ & diease thats ever been thru that power supply............

Oh, I got that 'sik' feeling in my guts again. I was out shopping & the first dunny I got to was being used, so I found another one & if I was 30 seconds later..........

Well I even had to use the females as the males was locked at the time. I'm starting to wonder if I'm picking the germs up at home too.

Oh, I sometimes use a 'headlight'. One of those strap on torches you can use at nigh & keep your hands free.
So I used it again. Next day I see a few blackheads on my forehead, didn't think about it...
Thenext day theres a bunch & they won't heal & so I poppem & that clears those ones up but theres still more comming. Well after 5 days its all died down again, but I'm not forgetting to sterilise my headband next time I use it.
