All right. I was hoping to ask that in the last session, but of course I didn't have enough time. I just thought I'd throw that out there.
I want to share the story of an experience I had. Most politicians meet people and shake hands daily. About three years ago, after shaking hands with about 200 people at an event, I went home with a sore wrist. I woke up at three in the morning with a hand that was about two times as large. I went to emergency, where they basically cut my hand open. They took blood samples, and of course I had an infection, through a tiny little cut I had in my finger, that apparently I got from shaking hands. This led to many levels of antibiotics. I spent a week in the hospital. They were talking about perhaps amputation, which scared the heck out of me as well. I went through two months of carrying an antibiotic pump on my side.
That was all because of shaking hands and getting infected. I warn everyone to continually wash their hands. I know that's been part of the education program.
By the way, Mr. Chair, I don't even know if we have any of that handwash stuff in here. We need to get it. Can we work on that?
