I used to put out bottles of antibacterial hand gel in the mens' & ladies' toilets at Rugby freestyles but they got taken. I should get some more really, as it's obviously popular and I always have some in my own dance bag. I don't even worry about being subtle using it - I think people generally appreciate your efforts at cleanliness.
If/when I have a cold, I really wouldn't want to subject other people to it, though - it's not exactly pleasant, is it? Last Thursday, when I was just getting over the cold that I picked up after the weekender, I didn't want to miss Rugby and being with Marc, so I went along anyway but didn't dance - just tucked myself in a corner and sat doing my work all evening. Really enjoyed the music, even more than if I'd been dancing, I think!
But I do find with the air conditioning that many places have, my nose is constantly running. I know it doesn't look pleasant to blow one's t, um, nose on the dance floor, but please rest assured that it's not a cold and I do wash my hands!
