Since diabetes is an immune-deficiency disease, I have to be very careful. That is why I clean EVERYTHING with hot soapy water and bleach - including my hands when handling things such as raw chicken.

I learned that method from a vet, of all things. A visitor to my house had dogs with parvo in his car. The vet told me to pour bleach outside everywhere the guy had walked. Then to clean the inside with hot soapy bleach water. He said bleach kills the parvo virus. Then I learned bleach even kills the AIDS virus. That's when I became almost obsessive about using bleach to keep illness away.

Diabetes is more complicated than most folks think, and cleanliness is next to Godliness, but don't go overboard. Impaired immune systems also occur with substance abuse, cancer and AIDS, among the most common explanations.
