A parcel arrived. I was bothered. Reg the postman was bothered too.
I’d been waiting for two months. Twelve stainless hooks for new kitchen. I needed only one but they came in 12s. The wrapper confirmed my fears. They came on a slow boat from China!
I’d touched the wrapping (so had Reg). What to do?
1. Avoid Reg.
2. Hooks into saucepan.
3. Cover with bleach.
4. Boil -10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, bin wrapper IMMEDIATELY in outside rubbish bin
6. Deep wash hands (none of this 20 seconds... I took a full five minutes)
7. Pick nose.
8. Sorted!

After the bleach boiling, the ‘stainless’ steel hooks were all showing signs of rust, with particles of rust in the water! The Chinese supplier needs to iron that one out.

So... I am not the only one wary of picking up anything now.. I use gloves and believe me, I am far from being paranoid... yet!!!
