Germ Warfare
I take the subway to the office every morning. Around this time every year, however, the man to my left starts sniffling endlessly, the woman to my right begins a nasty growling-coughing sound, and there's always some little kid wiping his hands on the seat after picking his nose. For the 10 minutes it takes me to get uptown, I turn into a Howard Hughes: I breathe through my scarf. I cover my hands in hand sanitizer—Soapopular, which is an amazing fragrance-free, alcohol-free, instantly drying foam. It's small enough to throw in my bag, never leaks, and is proven to kill everything.
