Sounds like you have "emetophobia":

First of all, stop with the constant hand washing.You will end up having germs invade your body if your barrier (skin) is ruined.
The good news is, you CAN prevent it.
Here are tips how:
There is no such thing as the "stomach flu".
It's called "Norwalk virus"
(Just remember that hand sanitizers will not kill this virus.House hold cleaners such as Lysol will also not kill you.You must use bleach.)
The Norwalk virus causes viral Gastroenteritis which is known as the nasty 24 hour bug that causes explosive and sudden diarrhea and projectile vomiting.Usually non life threating but can cause complications in the very young,elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
PREVENTION-Wash your hands before preparing food/eating food and most importantly, TOUCHING YOUR MOUTH/NOSE/EYES.
The ONLY way to become infected with this virus is if you ingest the contaminated fecal/vomit particles through your eyes,nose and mouth.
It is impossible to "breathe" in the virus BUT possible to become infected by breathing in aerosol "spray" droplets from someone vomiting right next to you.(the droplets settle within minuted but can still infect someone until cleaned with bleach)
Even if your whole family breaks out with this virus, you can prevent it by washing your hands for at least 15-20 seconds with warm water and soap.Remember that you are not killing the virus, you are washing it down the drain even if you use an antibacterial soap (which only kills bacteria, not viruses) hand sanitizers are also not successful in killing the virus.
If a member of your family comes down with the virus, let them know to wash their hands AFTER a bowel movement and vomiting.
To clean infected areas, clean with BLEACH.Clean bathrooms (all infected areas) with a bleach solution as soon as possible and be sure to prevent cross contamination and wash your hands afterwards.Especially children! wipe down all commonly touched objects like door knobs, faucet handles, light switches, toilet flushers etc.
People are STILL contagious even after 24 hours after their symptoms settle down so it is always important to wash your hands after the rest room (which you should do anyways!)
The key to staying Norwalk virus free is to keep sanitary.Wash your hands after using the bathroom...you could prevent other peoples misery as well as yours!!
Myths
It is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to get infected in any of the following ways:
1. Being “near” someone who has it, including co-workers or friends
2. Being on a plane with people who have it
3. Breathing the same air as someone who has it
4. Being in the same building as someone who has it
5. Walking past a pool of vomit on the floor, road or sidewalk
6. Through having sexual relations with an infected person
7. Through a cut in your skin
8. Through your rectum or genitalia (as in, on a toilet)
9. Kissing someone who is not yet showing symptoms (note: it may be possible to catch it from someone who has recently vomited by kissing them, as viral particles may be in their mouth from vomitus. But the virus is NOT transmitted through saliva)
10. Number 6, above, applies similarly to sharing cups or utensils with someone as well.
TIPS:Do not share any cups/plates/utensils with an infected person and be sure to wash in a bleach solution to prevent cross contamination with the rest of your family.
Good luck and stay healthy.
Natural Skin Care Retinol
Women care about their appearance and men should too. It is not a crime for you to want to look your best. It's a good thing when I see a man pay attention to his appearance because he wants to portray a good image. This society in which we live today places great emphasis on outward appearance.
Men unlike women do not take the time to search for a product they usually go with the advertisements and grab a brand they have come to trust. But do you even look at the label of these products to see what ingredients are in them and what you are putting on your skin? It is very important because a product is only as good as the ingredients it contains.
Because men have several particular difficulties with their skin due to shaving and sun exposure they need to use products that are specifically formulated for the male skin.
Because most men shave they often suffer from shaving cuts and bruises which damage the skin. Using those harsh after shave lotions will only aggravate the problem. You need a substance that will gently soothe and heal your skin. That is why you should make sure your men skin care product contain a substance known as Witch Hazel. It is a natural astringent and antioxidant which heals irritated and inflamed skin caused from shaving, it also helps to relieve psoriasis and eczema. It heals and repairs the skin bringing it back to good health
Another essential ingredient men should look for is D-Panthenol as it has proven to repair skin tissue and plays an important role as a natural moisturizer. It also protects the skin naturally against sunburn, provides relief for existing sunburn, and enhances the natural tanning process. And since most men spend a lot of time in the sun this is an awesome substance.
Men skin care should also give them the ability to properly cleanse and hydrate their skin. Cleansing and hydration goes hand in hand and this should be done on a regular basis using natural products. Hydration keeps the skin firm and also makes it look plump. Drinking lots of water is also another essential way to keep your skin hydrated and your body properly flushed.
