The death of the travel writer has been proactively announced by Tom Robbins of the financial times. Somewhere between imminent sprawling epitaph and predictive coroners report he outlines the travel guide writer as a dying breed.

Rough percentages indicate that between 25 and 40 percent of all food-borne illness can be traced to the hands.For maximum clean, but not 100-percent bacteria removal, use hot water that is almost too hot to touch, between 100 to 120 degrees F. Soap up and work the lather into the skin and under the nails for at least thirty seconds. Rinse thoroughly with hot water again. Re-soap, re-rinse and then dry. Drying is perhaps one of...more
