I have a work-related dilemna - in my office, we take it in turns to make a round of coffee for employees within our department - there're about 9 in mine. Until last night, I hadn't realised how terrifying this is - every time I take a sip out of my mug I could be ingesting my colleagues' germs!! They would have touched the handle and the body of the mug, and sometimes the guys carry it over holding the rim!!!!! My colleagues don't know about my emet, so how can I get around this? I can't just refuse to make or drink coffee rounds because I always have done and it would lead to questions - and i just know no-one would understand. Perhaps I could have a secret mug on my desk that I can transfer the coffee into, and use the other mug as the one they all touch?
Good grief, this has become a nightmare all of a sudden!!!! Am i being irrational?
