That looks like nylon cord. A gentle rinse then dry it well, I’d not soak it because of the wooden beads

I’ve known someone with no immune system who got ecoli most likely from using a teaspoon set down on a counter.

As someone who’s worked with the neutropenic extensively after obliterating immune systems with high dose chemotherapy, that’s highly unlikely. E coli infection can hang around for quite a while, and if you have no immune system, you will show signs and symptoms far later than someone will who has a healthy immune system.

If this were the case, neutropenic patients would not be allowed to wander the hospital nor depart the facility on what are called “day passes”. Their food trays would not come from the hospital food galley nor would they be allowed to have things brought to them. They wouldn’t be permitted to be at home while neutropenic (not post transplant, but most chemotherapy is actually given in an outpatient setting and there are neutropenic patients out and about).

It’s not impossible, but it’s highly improbable that a spoon on a counter gave them E coli.

I’ve also polished some of my silver table ware that way!
 
I get the el cheapo olive wood bead rosaries from Amazon. I’ve accidentally run them through washers and dryers with no problem, lol!

Since I have begun using an electric pressure cooker, I’ve found that when the steam releases holding jewelry right in the steam (I use a long BBQ set fork) does a fantastic cleaning job!

I used to use a hot pot just to get the stream of steam to soften the felt to shape my hat brims.

As for rosary cleaning, I just stick my hands under the faucet and scrub. 😜 (I don’t carry one, more do I have my tribar cross lapel pins blessed, due to a tendency to lose such things. Besides, with fingers as large as mine, it’s far more accurate to count with them [my rosary] then those itty bitty beads . . .)

My neutrophils are like the Scottish warriors in Braveheart ( not the ones that chickened out). Like the time I got the filarial infection. Proud of my li’l guys!

Chastised again? Can we answer anything - anything at all - on CAF without being browbeaten by loving brothers and sisters?

I receive much more charity on secular forums.

Sheesh.

However, the OP seems to indicate that some form of anxiety, scrupulosity or OCD may be involved. That is not a bacterial/viral/fungal problem.

Is it?

Nah. And Ebola came from chimpanzees. Or bats. Or kindergartners.

Go to medical school and maybe I would listen. Of course, if you did, you wouldn’t make such asinine and dangerous statements. Statements like yours are what ruin the internet for people who actually want to help people.

I’ve not been to medical school, but I have been to nursing school. The number two nursing school in the US, actually. And I worked in oncology for seven years, almost five of those in bone marrow transplant. Neutropenia is a way of life in that world.

Even for the neutropenic, it’s not a guarantee they’ll get sick - they still have functioning skin and functioning oral bacteria. If it was a guarantee, they wouldn’t be allowed outside of the hospital, and they are, every day. We also wouldn’t allow most chemotherapy to be given outpatient. And it is. Most chemo is not given in a hospital. It’s given in infusion centers and in clinics.

Quite out of line.
 
Really?

I’ve only been in one that had it in fonts at the entrance. Of course, in most cases I wasn’t really looking for it.
 
Is this a rule? If so, where can I find it? I always bring mine home in Mason jars because I prefer glass to plastic.
 
Are you kiddin’ me. I use it !
But it’s the way - today - people are afraid.
Even of Holy water.
Hardly martyr types.
Forget the two second shaking of hands - to grant one another peace - during a Christ celebration - lol
