Then, this week, it suddenly came back...But I hadn't been riding, and it hasn't even been particularly hot. The problem? I think It's still in my shirts, whatever the bacteria is, and wherever I picked it up. I hadn't been disinfecting my shirts/regular laundry because I was assured by both doctors and internet that detergent and dryer would do the job. Apparently, that's not the case. So, into the washer all my shirts go with the disinfectant. And hopefully, that will be that.

Strange, right? Right.
