Used to be a little bit of germs did a body good!

We live in a sterile society. Anti-biotics are just the beginning. Hand-sanitizers, allergy medicines/anti-histamines, pesticides, rubber gloves, face masks...etc. are everywhere!

As a kid, I used to play in the dirt, pick and eat blueberries in the woods, help bandage a buddy's bloody arm, and do all sorts things that were laden with 'germs!' Didn't kill me: it most likely builty up my resistance in many cases!

Nowadays, a kid even sneezes, and it's time to load up on medicines!

The more we try to 'sterilze' our society, the less immunity our bodies have against germs. We can't offer a 100% germ free world, and as such, in the end, the germs win.

Ah-choo!
