Hidden dangers of healthy eating

My hands smell of tuna. I've washed them several times, but the aroma of tuna lingers on. Before you all get smutty (oh don't deny it, I know what you guys are like), I decided to be all healthy this morning and fix myself a tuna salad to take to work for lunch. I prepared it at 8am, washed my hands, and then left the house. On the train, I realised with horror that my hands reeked of fish.

Comforted myself with the knowledge that I would be able to wash them (with what? Acid?) once I got to work. Of course, as soon as I walked into reception, of course I was introduced to a new member of staff, and of course we shook hands. Way to make a great impression - I'm the girl who smells like tuna. Excellent.

Over the course of the day, I've washed my hands a number of times in the manner of an OCD sufferer, and even now, even now I swear I can still smell a hint of tuna. See what happens when you make an effort and go all healthy? Had I bought myself a ridiculously over-priced hermetically sealed sandwich from M&S, none of this would have happened.
