One thing I always do before I start stitching each evening (or after I've stitched for an hour, particularly in the summertime when it is hot) is to wash my hands. This was drilled into me by my godmother who was a needlepointed and my aunt who was a terrific seamstress and master of almost every sewing technique. However, I never thought about how to wash hands when traveling as I do so little of that until I saw this article by Mary Corbet.

Great tip! I have become a hand washing fanatic due to my needlepoint first, and flu season second. Eat a cookie? Wash. Pet the dog? Wash. Read the paper? Wash 2x! Etc., etc., ad nauseum
Good girl! Your needlework will be clean (and you won't be sick!).
