Yeah, i never really understood germaphobes. It's like, people, you have this thing called an immune system in your body, its job is to protect you from the germs. Keeping the place sterile just means your immune system has nothing to learn to fight againt. It's like a muscle, you need to keep it exercised otherwise it just withers away.
For example, people who are cleanliness freaks and also asthmatic. Do they stay clean because they're athsmatic and so want to avoid anything that'll cause the reaction, or are they asthamatic in the first place because they're germaphobic and so their immunities haven't developed right? Know what i mean?
