Fred, thank you for voicing this. I agree that the *intent* is far more important than the words themselves.
Plus, in text, we lose a lot of social cues that would give context. It is always illuminating to see the inner workings of a person, as they decide what context would be “normal”.

I agree Ann Nwokoye. Very useful info, no idea why pajamas would need to be referred to as such.

It’s not meant in an offensive way and so sorry if you took it that way. Everything can be taken in an offensive way to someone. Stop with your P.C. and just read the article.

It can continue a stereotype that people who live in an inner-city poverty area (often termed “ghetto”) are somehow shameful. I know you don’t mean that but just think about how this sounds: “When I’m sick I break out the most ghetto pyjamas I can find, I don’t know why I just do – please don’t judge.. Regardless, these shameful items ….”

I just got this post on Pinterest. Though I just cleaned everything with soap and water then disinfected with bleach. Ugh! I wasn’t sure if the oregano oil would do the trick. What’s the ratio you use? Thanks. I’m trying to go all natural but got nervous when my husband was exposed to the flu yesterday. Thanks.

Why don’t you just copy and paste to a word document, then print it out? Or print out the webpage. Geez.

In 8 oz of water use 3-5 drops of tea tree oil

Less is more when it comes to essential oils and make sure to shake often if using just water. If you want to add an emulsifier to shake less often then witch hazel would work and I’d do about a half ounce of witch hazel in 8 oz bottle

Alternative bleach cleaner. Hydrogen peroxide with lemon essential oil and fighting five or tea tree. Any essential oil will work that has anti bacterial. Antiviral and antiseptic properties! 🙂 just make sure you do your research and follow the dilution guide! 🙂 vinegar has also been proven to show disinfectant properties and if you let a lemon sit in it for a couple weeks, it helps alot!and withe the smell! I love hydrogen peroxide. Also alcohol , vodka 100 proof or 180 proof everclear is great disinfectant by itself but you can always add essential oils to it for the smell and their properties to give a boost! 😀 I buy my essential oils from edensgarden.com

I have 3 kids sicks. 1 sick husband and myself. This all started Saturday(for hubby) Sunday morning for kids (mine has been a lingering sinus cold for days now) anyways, since Sunday morning when my kids woke up throwing up. I have literally continued to wash everything they touch and sleep in that day and using homemade natural disinfectant cleaners to clean and castile soap with lavender and frankincense to wash our hands with like 100x a day. Today is day 3 of sickness for kids. And I still have my diffuser running but with oregano, lemon, lemongrass, bergamot and citronella, I mix it up with these but always have the oregano with the others I choose at that moment. Oregano is 49x more potent as an anti bacterial and antiviral than commercial cleaners such as lysol. And the spray I made consists of vinegar, water, fighting five, lemon, lemongrass, frankincense and tea tree. I literally spray it on everything and let it sit everytime I walk in the room. Since they are still sick, I feel awful but I’m doing what I can while we’re all sick and hopefully be done with this today or tomorrow. For my youngsters, they have ran fevers but my littlest one, I did 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 1 drop of bergamot and that has helped her fever go down dramatically. Along with popsicles. Propel water with electrolytes and staying away from heavy foods. Mostly liquids. As far as fresh air. I have my a/c on because it’s hot but when. The a/c isn’t running I leave all the windows open because I can’t stand enclosed areas anyways, and that alone as helped a great bit!! 🙂 wish there was more I could do. But we are a green family and first time being sick since we’ve traded in commercial cleaners and lysol for natural cleaners and disinfectants, so it’s a working progress. But I can tell they are getting better. 😀
