I remember hanging my hand off the side of his couch and it brushing up against something hard, I looked over the side and there was a few pounds of chicken bones stuck away there, further looks revealed all kinds of discarded food and garbage tucked away behind the couch. This guy had to clear a path to get anywhere in his house there was so much cr4p everywhere... Thing is, he never got sick, I knew him for years, he told me once he could only remember getting a cold like twice in his life. I, on the other hand, can walk through a room and catch everything in it, and I grew up in a very clean household.
I now have a great excuse for leaving my dirty socks on the floor, food leavings on my computer desk and for not showering for days on end... Wife is going to LOVE me!
