Hi Ruth,

My immune system has been compromised somewhat, but not too greatly.
Just enough that I want to avoid certain situations where I may
encounter nasty germs, etc.

 RH> Clean it ???

Hard to clean raw meat "drippings" that sink into the wood tho. I've
heard that the wood is supposed to be anti bacterial but have my doubts
on that. Maybe, when it's new, but not after sitting in a kitchen for
years on end.

Keep a roll stashed nearby, every room if you have to.
