We live in a world obsessed with cleanliness. Every other TV ad is for some form of hand sanitizer, work surface cleaner or some aid to stop contact with, and i can hardly bring myself to say it, GERMS!!

Well have you ever stopped to think that most of the time we are better off with them. I grew up, as most of you did, in a world where we had none of these germ killers, As kids we probably didn't wash our hands before eating, we ate left overs from the day before and our moms cleaned the counters with simple water. And you know we didn't get sick. Do you know why? Because we were exposed to GERMS and our immune system built up tolerance and then next time we were exposed we still didn't get sick.

Now what lies ahead? We are killing all those GERMS that we need to become immune to and never will. So one day when we do meet one we are going to get sick. Why are we more allergic to every possible thing? Because we are not exposed to them while we are young and therefore never build any immunity or tolerance.

Stop sanitizing, live sensibly and live happier.

I agree.  My house is not "sanitized" and the only one who gets sick is my hubby but his issues are usually allergy- induced from irritants like pollen and animal dander.

My kids rarely get sick.

Graham - This is so true, face it we need some germs around to build up our immunity.  People want to live germ free and in so doing destroyed the good bacterias, no wonder we are have so many germ resistant stuff to deal with.

Yeah, I agree with you.  But, still, when I was in the store the other day and the clerk was coughing into her hand and then touching my newly purchased items, it was very hard to take.  I had to come home and wipe everything off with hand sanitizer before I could put the stuff away, LOL!

This is true.  I read an article on this.  They think it is one of the reasons why more and more people are born with allergies to nuts, bees and the like.  What is wrong with us!
