Don't Panic Mr Mainwaring - The Antibiotics don't work.

Personal hygiene in any situation is very important. Any individual can boost their own immune system by exposing it to any agent, but then said individual can pass the infection on to parties that have not yet acquired any immunity to said agent. Just observe how many people do not wash their hands after being to the toilet. Recent research in the UK showed that 70% of surfaces in public areas swab contained various concentrations of faecal matter, Human shit being the most prevalent. You can imagine what the situation would be post any breakdown. I always carry a quantity of tincture of Iodine 2% which is a very good agent for several uses, one being a quick way of cleaning hands. You do not have to be OCD about hygiene, just Sensible.
