Arguments similar to this were used against washing your hands at all when we first developed a theory of germs and contamination.
Really though, this discussion won't progress until one of us has supporting data.
- markdown 8y agoFair enough. I don't have data to support my conclusions, but I subscribe to the Hygiene Hypothesis... humans have lived in filth for millennia, and our bodies haven't evolved to live in sterile conditions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis
