“pathogens” ( bacteria, viruses, etc) builds immunities in you body which is a good thing. Some say every kid needs to eat some mud occasionally. Conversely overuse of “ antibacterial” products ( cleaning agents, soaps, wipes, just straight up use of antibiotics) has led to resistant strains of “ superbugs” that have potential for terrible consequences. Where do you draw the line? Everyone has different ideas. Wifey is OCD... constantly cleaning, swiffering floors, spraying countertops. Won’t even touch leftover foods. She spends 4 times amount as me for groceries when we lived in separate domiciles. I can make a pot of Chile and eat it for a week. I almost never get sick ( knock on wood). She is constantly on Claritin or something for allergies or other maladies. Which is proper course of action?? Bring on the discussion!
Note... I am very well behaved ( masked, etc) in my personal and professional life. Very respectful of others JFYI
