People need germs to stay healthy.
Case in point, Aside from washing my hands after using the bathroom, I hardly ever do anything to avoid germs, and I have yet to get a cold or flu this winter. A girl I work with is OCD about germs, like won't touch doorknobs without having a paper towel in her hand and or scrubbing her hands afterwards with anti bacterial soap. She's definitely had the cold and flu this winter a few times. Like most people.
I saw her washing a grapefruit before cutting it yesterday and I asked what she was doing. She said the edge of the knife will pick up contamination from the skin and make it's way into the part she will eat. I don't eat grapefruits but when I have an orange I give it a cursory rub on my shirt and then use my teeth to rip the shell off.
so, people need to up their germ intake to stay healthier, not try to be like Howard Hughes.
