Do you just have an IV drip to get it directly into your veins?

She might have 4 (one in each limb) to speed things up . . . and for redundancy in case something wonky happens with one of the others.

Does everyone know what the 5 second rule is? I donāt think I had heard of it until after college. Think I heard it from the woman who is now my wife, maybe was already my wife when I first heard it.

I learned it as a kid and still use it for some things. Usually 5, sometimes 10, and occasionally n+1 where n is the number of seconds itās on the ground.
I thought it was common
Related, as an adult there is the related phrase - kissing it up to God. Anyone know that one?
I donāt think I heard the 5 second rule until I was an adult. Never heard of kissing it up to God.
When a baby drops something like their pacifier, and no choices, and crying baby, use your mouth to clean it. Five second rule one off

Ew!
Never heard the term, but did that plenty of times with the kids.
What cracks me up is that IIRC, Mythbusters (and/or the local news) busted this myth.
I was like really? People really believed that things that fell on the floor and were picked up within 5 seconds couldnāt have been contaminated by whatever was on that floor/ground?
My assumption was that I had, during my early childhood, eaten enough dirt that I had decent immunity to most of the germs present on the ground. That is why I was only somewhat at risk of getting sick from picking something up off the floor and dusting it off and eating it. And as long as it didnāt have visible contaminants/dirt/hair I was was usually OK regardless of the time period on the floor.
Of course, I did suck off the pacifier a few times for my kids. I remember not very long ago, my granddaughter dropped her pacifier in a place where we didnāt have a place to wash it off and my daughter was beside herself what she was going to do. I said just stick it in your mouth and clean it off. She was mortified. I said, we used to do it all the time with you kids. She did it but I donāt think she liked it.
lol, I did it out of necessity, not because I liked it. It usually didnāt bother me too much though.
I recall Mythbusters busting it.
