For those advocating hygiene as the solution to infections, and claiming to practice impeccable hygiene themselves ...
Out of curiousity, do you ever go camping, or otherwise leave civilization and showers behind? If so, what do you do? Carry around a pile of alcohol wipes and excuse yourself to the bushes, or simply "let it go" and take care when you're back to civilization?
My point (and I do have one) is that there are times when it's difficult to be so meticulous about hygiene. In those circumstances, I'd rather have a mechanism that's less likely to keep the nasty stuff hanging around somewhere where it's bound to cause infection.
