We need to take in germs in order to get resistance to them. So aren’t we don’t a disservice by washing our hands all the time? Obviously, we need to from time to time but not on the regular

    The phrase “eat shit and die” actually dates back to ancient Ohio where people experimented with this concept but they died.

    As a self-claimed medical expert, I always take this advice to heart as I proceed to cough on younger children and give them the gift of better immune systems:

    “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want”

    • Mao Zedong

    TLDR: Yes you get a better immune system by letting your hands experience the real world.

    Kind of related: I once had a hair stylist tell me that it’s actually better to NOT wash my hair because our scalp made natural oil. Now, I’ve known about a lot of hair products containing chemicals that dry your hair out, but she was literally suggesting that washing your hair once per week was too much. I mean, I’m no expert, but that just sounds… negligent and gross. Especially considering sweaty workouts and swimming regularly.

      This is the way. For best results, search public records for restraunts with a history of food poisoning to find the optimal toilet seats.
