There’s a zillion articles about how the over sanitization craze is slowly creating superbugs and destroying our natural immunity to the world.
When I was kid, I spent all my time around dogs and farm animals, running barefoot through filthy places, sharing sandwiches with my dogs and so forth.
Got a crazy immune system and the last time I had a “flu” was 15 years ago when I got a “flu shot”.
Even if I start to catch a “cold” that is slamming everybody else here, it lasts me maybe one day and that’s a sniffle or two and a couple sneezes.
Every time I see somebody in a store bathroom, frantically scrubbing their paws like they’re about to perform bare handed brain surgery, I think “Welp. There goes your lovely layer of protective bacteria”.
Let your kids go play in the dirt, like I did.
The last time I got sick was from what I presume was a nasty Staph. aureus bug that lived at Taco Time. I got food there with a friend, and he got the packets of condiments and I got mine from the super-shiny display that probably got sanitized twice a day.
