Re: Paranoid with parasites!!!
Quick comment, Suzy...the stew is ready.
Your best 'sterilizing', protection against all contamination, is called your 'immune system'. Fueled by excellent nutrition, from fruits and veggies properly grown, the immune system defends us in ways 'science' hasn't yet thought of!
Even our digestion process needs soil micro organisms we might get by pulling a carrot, wiping it on our jeans, and munching.
Babies eat dirt...that's just a fact of life.
And we'd never have made it these thousands of years, if 'dirt' was poisonous. In fact, it may be necessary.
Be not afraid...there are countless things and processes protecting us...our own bodies most of all.
We just haven't yet noticed all the ways.
That was my purpose in writing all this stuff...to help you not to be afraid. Fear is a total waste of energy...and happiness.
There isn't a way of sterilizing anything, by hand, that is 100% foolproof...except inside.
Check out that statement for yourself...see if I'm right.
If it is so, trust yourself.
And, if it is so, trust your babes and their immune systems.
A pal gave her girls no sugar, from birth. When they finally got some, in the neighborhood...they both instantly came down with colds...which neither had ever had before.
Immunity works in funny ways.
Refuse to feel bad ever again. It is against your better nature.
Love,
Fledgling
