I noticed at stores and various other places that they are always cleaning and cleaning the keypads on debit card readers, the carts, and everything they can clean.
They are even cleaning the door handles at my office twice a day. MY option is that with all this cleaning you are killing off good bacteria and our immune systems are going to get really weak if we keep cleaning like this.
Please prove me wrong if need be. Thanks!

Everything I need to know about germs I learned from War of the Worlds.
I rarely wash my hands, am an avid nail biter, and rarely get sick. I have the immune system of a buzzard.
This thread just went from unnecessary to disgusting :-)
Overuse of antibacterial soap can kill good bacteria that live on your hands, potentially leading to skin warts. Temporary and not a big deal, but certainly unpleasant.
However, there is no mechanism by which your immune system “gets weaker” based on a lack of exposure to the same number of pathogens. There just isn’t a way for what you describe to happen.
Yes, extremely bad for our immune systems and health. They’re killing us. Same for masks which force us to breathe in our own toxins and suffocate us from oxygen.
LOL... me too. Grew up on a farm drinking unpasteurized milk and well water, and all my life I’ve had the dietary habits of a scavenging raccoon. I don’t get shots. I don’t take medicine. I don’t go to doctors unless there’s a visible lump or a protruding bone. Immune system of a tank is what I always say, but I like the “buzzard” remark. My standard joke is that I could probably traipse through a leper colony and come out unscathed. The only thing in the world I’m allergic to, my only Kryptonite is poison ivy. I live in terror of poison ivy, but nothing else seems to touch me.
Cleaning surfaces decreases infectious disease transmission, such as flu or Wuhan flu.
Your other concern is unnecessary unless you are sterilizing your house, your car etc...
“Let me tell you a true story about immunization okay?
“When I was a little boy in New York City in the 1940s, we swam in the Hudson River and it was filled with raw sewage okay? We swam in raw sewage! You know... to cool off! And at that time, the big fear was polio; thousands of kids died from polio every year but you know something? In my neighborhood, no one ever got polio! No one! Ever! You know why? Cause we swam in raw sewage! It strengthened our immune systems! The polio never had a prayer; we were tempered in raw s**t!”
- George Carlin
I’m no expert, but I have a different opinion. Immune systems need practice, although serious pathogens are not recommended.
We know that Covid and other types of viruses are rarely caught from surfaces like doorhandles. Excessive cleaning and sterilizing of hard surfaces doesn’t matter a bit to your overall health and well-being.
Let ‘em clean.

C’mon man...you’re among friends...fess up. You love the taste of decaying roadkill. ;-)
Natural viruses are quite like computer viruses.
Your body can get out of sync with natural virus populations.
You clean one thing and then you notice everything else that needs cleaning.
It’s a vicious cycle.
No worries. I keep stuff dirty enough at home to offset all the madness going on in the workplace.
C’mon man...you’re among friends...fess up. You love the taste of decaying roadkill. ;-)
I think its far more likely they’re going to breed something far more nasty, bacteria-wise, especially the places doing a half-a$$ed job.
A good example is the flu and flu shots, which attempt to resync your body to the flu virus population.

A aims to please (and so does Louise). :)
