I assume that all of them put a plug up their ass so they definitely never fart in their bed at night putting those exact same fecal bacteria where they sleep.

Like, I get it - it's gross. But humans can be exposed to a certain level of gross and not die, it's fine.
- modeless 3y agoIt's more than fine, in many cases. We need the right bacteria in our guts to digest our food properly and they have to get in there somehow. Also our immune systems need exposure to a diversity of natural bacteria and other organisms in order to develop and function properly. Lack of exposure to natural biota is strongly suspected to be a major cause of the rapidly growing epidemic of allergies in modern life. (This is the Hygiene Hypothesis referenced upthread.) Not saying you should stick your toothbrush in the toilet, but unusually strict hygiene measures are unlikely to be net beneficial for you. My reading of the research is that greater exposure to bacteria is very healthy and desirable as much as possible without actually getting sick.

I'm reminded of this every time someone posts a link to FDA regulations of what is acceptable as "food", what level of contaminants are allowed in "food", and other things that really make you not want to eat "food".
- doubled112 3y agoI thought kink shaming was wrong.
- bregma 3y agoI didn't detect any shaming. Maybe a little bit of relish or personal lived experience.
